Jacob Aue Sobol quotes:

I wanted to meet the people, to get involved in the city, to make Tokyo mine.

I made a decision that to me, photography had to be something that I could feel. I could feel in my stomach. I could not take pictures that were not connected to my own inner life.

When I photograph, I try to use my instincts as much as possible. It is when pictures are unconsidered and irrational that they come to life; that they evolve from showing to being.

The most difficult thing for me is to take pictures from far away.
