"I only just realised that keeping notes on paper is much like making photographs on film: It slows one down and makes the process deliberate and therefore meaningful. I want to be slowed down, I want to be made to think about my photographs before I create them.Nothing is worse than a collection of hundreds of cheap, colourful, bad little digital pictures that have been made for no reason at all (correction - they are not made, they are truly taken), that have no meaning at all and that nobody wants to see because there is nothing to see..."

"Attached is a snapshot of one of my own Moleskines, which I use as my ideas repository. It is full of notes and sketches, produced with my Aurora fountain pen - ideas for photographs. I find it satisfying to keep ideas for a period of time, revisit and re-work them, and only then to realise them on film. Very satisfying. Another Moleskine lives in my equipment bag and is used to record shooting data, names and locations, etc."
