For A Photographer, The First 70 Years

I Prefer My Hesitations, My False Paths, My Stammering, To A Preconceived Idea.

To Suggest Is To Create; To Describe Is To Destroy.

You Know, They Always Say That The Photographer Is A Hunter Of Images. That Is A Flattering Image, The Idea Of A Hunter, It's Virile, Acquired Power. Actually Though, It Isn't That. We Are Really Fishermen With Hooks And Lines.

When People Talk To Me About Picture Hunters, I Very Quietly Laugh. I'm Not A Hunter Of Pictures, I'm A Fisher Of Pictures.

A Hundredth Of A Second Here, A Hundredth Of A Second There-even If You Put Them End To End, They Still Only Add Up To One, Two, Perhaps Three Seconds, Snatched From Eternity.
