What Reinforces The Content Of A Photograph

One Eye Of The Photographer Looks Wide Open Through The Viewfinder, The Other, The Closed Looks Into His Own Soul.

Actually, I'm Not All That Interested In The Subject Of Photography. Once The Picture Is In The Box, I'm Not All That Interested In What Happens Next. Hunters, After All, Aren't Cooks.

They ... Asked Me: 'how Do You Make Your Pictures?' I Was Puzzled ... I Said, I Don't Know, It's Not Important.

To Me, Photography Is The Simultaneous Recognition, In A Fraction Of A Second, Of The Significance Of An Event As Well As Of A Precise Organization Of Forms Which Give That Event Its Proper Expression. And This Organization, This Precision, Will Always Escape You, If You Do Not Appreciate What A Picture Is, If You Do Not Understand That The Composition, The Logic, The Equilibrium Of The Surfaces And Values Are The Only Ways Of Giving Meaning To All That Is Continuously Appearing And Vanishing Before Our Very Eyes.

It Seems Dangerous To Be A Portrait Artist Who Does Commissions For Clients Because Everyone Wants To Be Flattered, So They Pose In Such A Way That There's Nothing Left Of Truth.
