Photographers Deal In Things Which Are Continually

Above All, I Craved To Seize The Whole Essence, In The Confines Of One Single Photograph, Of Some Situation That Was In The Process Of Unrolling Itself Before My Eyes.

I Am A Visual Man. I Watch, Watch, Watch. I Understand Things Through My Eyes.

For Me The Camera Is A Sketch Book, An Instrument Of Intuition And Spontaneity, The Master Of The Instant Which, In Visual Terms, Questions And Decides Simultaneously. It Is By Economy Of Means That One Arrives At Simplicity Of Expression.

We Must Respect The Atmosphere Which Surrounds The Human Being

Poetry Is The Essence Of Everything, And It’s Through Deep Contact With Reality And Living Fully That You Reach Poetry. Very Often I See Photographers Cultivating The Strangeness Or Awkwardness Of A Scene, Thinking It Is Poetry. No. Poetry Is Two Elements Which Are Suddenly Conflict — A Spark Between Two Elements. But It’s Given Very Seldom, And You Can’t Look For It. It’s Like If You Look For Inspiration. No, It Just Comes By Enriching Yourself And Living.
