A Photograph Is Neither Taken Or Seized

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

The Creative Act Lasts But A Brief Moment, A Lightning Instant Of Give-and-take, Just Long Enough For You To Level The Camera And To Trap The Fleeting Prey In Your Little Box.

With The One Eye That Is Closed, One Looks Within, With The Other Eye That Is Open, One Looks Without.

The Simultaneous Recognition, In A Fraction Of A Second, Of The Significance Of An Event As Well As The Precise Organization Of Forms Which Gives That Event Its Proper Expression... In Photography, The Smallest Thing Can Be A Great Subject. The Little Human Detail Can Become A Leitmotif.

Rene Char Wrote Somewhere, Apropos Poetry, That There Are Those Who Create And Those Who Discover; They Are Too Completely Different Worlds. Photograph Also Has Two Sides To It And Thank Goodness, I Am Only Intersted In Those Who Discover; I Feel A Certain Solidarity With Those Who Set Out In A Spirit Of Discovery; I Think There Is Much More Risk Invovled In This Than In Trying To Create Images; And In The End, Reality Is More Important.
