"I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place."

"Photography is an immediate reaction, drawing is a meditation."
Reaction
"We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory."

"During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late."
Work
"The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt."
Portrait
"Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks."
Photography
"To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event."
Perception
"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."
Time
"To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."
Heart
"The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality."
Interest
"In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv."
