Covering A Historic Event Is Perfectly Legitimate.

I Am A Professional Photographer By Trade And An Amateur Photographer By Vocation.

Everybody's Got To Do Something... I'd Been On My Own Since An Early Age And I Thought I Better Find Something To Do To Buy Biscuits And Stuff. From High School Onwards I Was Earning My Way With Photography, One Way Or Another, Working In Darkrooms And Taking Pictures Of Weddings, Neighbors' Children And So On.

You Don't Study Photography. You Do It.

I'm An Amateur Photographer, Apart From Being A Professional One, And I Think Maybe My Amateur Pictures Are The Better Ones.

You Must Have A Visual Sense If You Want To Be A Photographer. It Is A Very Subtle Thing, This Visual Business.
