I have been photographing the portrait of an end of an era, as machines and computers replace human workers. What we have in these pictures is an archeology.

It's more important for a photographer to have very good shoes, than to have a very good camera

The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.

The language that photography has is a formal language. Any photographer is doing something formal. If it's formal, then it must be an aesthetic way to communicate.

In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.

I don't believe a person has a style. What people have is a way of photographing what is inside them. What is there comes out.

I'm not an artist. An artist makes an object. Me, it's not an object, I work in history, I'm a storyteller.

I believe that the average person can help a lot, not by giving material goods but by participating, by being part of the discussion, by being truly concerned about what is going on in the world.

I try with my pictures to raise a question, to provoke a debate, so that we can discuss problems together and come up with solutions.

What I want is to create a discussion about what is happening around the world and to provoke some debate with these pictures. Nothing more than this.

I tell a little bit of my life to them, and they tell a little of theirs to me. The picture itself is just the tip of the iceberg.

Writing's a lot like cooking. Sometimes the cake won't rise, no matter what you do, and every now and again the cake tastes better than you ever could have dreamed it would.

The flip side of the coin of which Good and Evil are but one side.

I love the concept of togetherness and the entwinement of marriage.

The world is beautiful but not sayable. That's why we need art.

The term 'income inequality' is a bit misleading because it suggests in a somewhat pejorative way that the rich are getting richer at the expense of the poor.

I developed a crazy face rash after I got engaged to a guy I must have known somewhere I should not marry. I hadn't articulated this to myself, so my face told the world instead.

The divorced person is like a man with a black patch over one eye: he looks rather dashing but the fact is that he has been through a maiming experience.

Are you aware it is private property? Why you'll be asking be to bomb Essen next.

I do not act, and people become reformed by themselves.

Getting married is the boldest and most idealistic thing that most of us will ever do.
