It's Important To Let Your Subjects Be

And What Excites Me Most Is The Type Of Public, The Fact That The Parisian People Have A Broader Cultural Understanding Than Many Americans Do.

Regardless Of Whether You Speak The Language Or Are Familiar With A Culture, The Picture Should Hold Up.

To Me It's Just Going For The Moment That Counts. Sometimes, I'll Have All The Elements There, And I Like To Play And Push Something, And To Me, In The End, You Do Achieve Things That You're Not Aware Of In The Beginning, Even Though You're There Trying To Get Them.

I'm Pretty Selective. I Generally Edit The Contact Sheets And Then Do Work Prints. Because I Have My Own Lab And Printers, I Can Afford The Luxury Of Going Through The Contact Sheets For Black-and-white, Making Up Work Prints, Seeing Them Big, And Honing Them Down.

Today A Lot Of Things Are So Celebrity-oriented; It's Only Because It's Celebrity And The Photograph Is Lost. To Me It's Important To Have An Image That Is A Photograph First, Not About Necessarily Who That Person Is.
