If You Take Photos, Don't Speak, Don't

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

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.

Chance Is The One Thing You Can't Buy. You Have To Pay For It And You Have To Pay For It With Your Life, Spending A Lot Of Time, You Pay For It With Time, Not The Wasting Of Time But The Spending Of Time.

You've Got To Struggle Against The Pollution Of Intelligence In Order To Become An Animal With Very Sharp Instincts - A Sort Of Intuitive Medium - So That To Photograph Becomes A Magical Act, And Slowly Other More Suggestive Images Begin To Appear Behind The Visible Image, For Which The Photographer Cannot Be Held Responsible.

If I Knew How To Take A Good Photograph, I'd Do It Every Time.
