A photograph is a moment - when you press the button, it will never come back.

I think that's the strength of photography - to decide the decisive moment, to click in the moment to come up with a picture that never comes back again.
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.
I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining.
Every time your picture is taken, you lose a part of your soul.
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
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.
I never took a photograph. Instead, I became a good listener.
A photograph is always invisible, it is not it that we see.
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
