"My photography is a reflection, which comes to life in action and leads to meditation. Spontaneity - the suspended moment - intervenes during action, in the viewfinder."

"It's about reacting to what you see, hopefully without preconception. You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them. You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy."

To take a photograph is to align the head, the eye and the heart. It's a way of life.

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time.
You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you.
Then, however, you must be very quick.

The decisive moment, it is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second,
of the significance of an event as well as the precise organization
of forms which gives that event its proper expression.

Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera.
That is the moment the photographer is creative.
This is the decisive moment.
