Sharpness Is A Bourgeois Concept

Everyone Has Got Some Preconceptions, But You Have To Readjust Them In Front Of Reality. Reality Has The Last Word.

The Photograph Itself Doesn't Interest Me. I Want Only To Capture A Minute Part Of Reality.

Photographers Deal In Things Which Are Continually Vanishing And When They Have Vanished There Is No Contrivance On Earth Which Can Make Them Come Back Again.

The Only Thing Which Completely Was An Amazement To Me And Brought Me To Photography Was The Work Of Munkacsi. When I Saw The Photograph Of Munkacsi Of The Black Kids Running In A Wave, I Couldn't Believe Such A Thing Could Be Caught With The Camera. I Said, 'damn It', I Took My Camera And Went Out Into The Street.
