मेरे लिए फोटोग्राफी सुंदर कला पैदा करने का साधन नहीं है, बल्कि वास्तविक सच्चाई से रूबरू होने का एक अनोखा तरीका है।

For me, photography is not a means by which to create beautiful art, but a unique way of encountering genuine reality

किसी तस्वीर के इरादे या उसके अर्थ की कोई निश्चित घोषणा कर देना उस तस्वीर की जान ले लेता है।

Making a definitive declaration of intent or meaning kills the photograph.

अगर कोई मुझसे एक तस्वीर को कुछ शब्दों में परिभाषित करने के लिए कहे, तो मैं कहूँगा कि यह प्रकाश और समय का एक जीवाश्म है।

If you were to ask me to define a photograph in a few words, I would say it is a fossil of light and time.

मेरी तस्वीरें अक्सर धुंधली, खुरदरी, धारियों वाली, टेढ़ी-मेढ़ी और ऐसी ही होती हैं। लेकिन अगर आप सोचें, तो एक आम इंसान एक दिन में अनगिनत दृश्य देखता है—उनमें से कुछ पर उसका ध्यान केंद्रित होता है, तो कुछ उसकी आँख के कोने से बमुश्किल दिखाई देते हैं।

[My] photos are often out of focus, rough, streaky, warped, etc. But if you think about it, a normal human being will in one day perceive an infinite number of images, and some of them are focused upon, others are barely seen out of the corner of one's eye.

जब मैं तस्वीरें लेता हूँ, तो मेरा शरीर अनजाने में ही एक सम्मोहक अवस्था में चला जाता है। सड़कों पर तेज़ी से आगे बढ़ते हुए, मेरे शरीर का हर एक सेल रडार की तरह संवेदनशील हो जाता है, जो गली-कूचे की ज़िंदगी के हर रंग को महसूस करता है... अगर मैं इसे शब्दों में बूँदूँ, तो कहूँगा: "मेरे पास कोई विकल्प नहीं है... मुझे यह खींचना ही होगा... मैं इस नज़ारे को किसी और की नज़रों के लिए नहीं छोड़ सकता... मुझे इसकी तस्वीर लेनी ही होगी... मेरे पास कोई दूसरा रास्ता नहीं है।" यह एक अंतहीन, बुदबुदाती हुई गूँज है।

When I take photographs, my body inevitably enters a trancelike state. Briskly weaving my way through the avenues, every cell in my body becomes as sensitive as radar, responsive to the life of the streets... If I were to give it words, I would say: "I have no choice... I have to shoot this... I can't leave this place for another's eyes... I have to shoot it... I have no choice." An endless, murmuring refrain.

photography (फोटोग्राफी) समय को 'कैद' करने की कला है, न कि दुनिया को 'बयान' करने की। दुनिया या सुंदरता के सार को पकड़ने के लिए कैमरा एक अधूरा साधन है।

Photography is the act of "fixing" time, not of "expressing" the world. The camera is an inadequate tool for extracting a vision of the world or of beauty.

जो फोटोग्राफर कैमरे के पारंपरिक दृष्टिकोण का उपयोग करके इस दुनिया में आसानी से फिट बैठना चाहता है, वह आखिरकार अपने ही खोदे हुए 'विचार' के गड्ढे में गिर जाता है।

The photographer who attempts to fit happily into the world by using the traditional perspective of the camera will end up falling into the hole of the "idea" he has dug for himself.

I wanted to go to the end of photography.

मेरी इच्छाओं का अधिकांश हिस्सा ऐसे फिसल जाता है जैसे किसी जाल से पानी बह जाता है, और अंत में हमेशा तस्वीरों के धुंधले, मायावी से टुकड़े ही बच जाते हैं... जो मेरे मन की अनगिनत परतों में समा जाते हैं।

Most of what I want simply slips away like water flowing through a net, and always what remains are only vague, elusive fragments of images... that sink into countless strata in my mind.
