Photographers Deal In Things Which Are Continuously

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.

Pictures Should Never Be Posed. They Are 'revealed' So Must Be Accepted As They Are. Left Alone.

Thinking Should Be Done Before And After, Not During Photographing. Success Depends On The Extent Of One's General Culture. One's Set Of Values, One's Clarity Of Mind One's Vivacity. The Thing To Be Feared Most Is The Artificially Contrived, The Contrary To Life.

We Must Avoid However, Snapping Away, Shooting Quickly And Without Thought, Overloading Ourselves With Unnecessary Images That Clutter Our Memory And Diminish The Clarity Of The Whole.

To Photograph Is To Hold One's Breath, When All Faculties Converge To Capture Fleeting Reality. It's At That Precise Moment That Mastering An Image Becomes A Great Physical And Intellectual Joy.
