Human Faces Are Such A World!

A Photograph Is Neither Taken Or Seized By Force. It Offers Itself Up. It Is The Photo That Takes You. One Must Not Take Photos.

I Suddenly Understood That Photography Can Fix Eternity In A Moment. It Is The Only Photo That Influenced Me. There Is Such Intensity In This Image, Such Spontaneity, Such Joie De Vivre, Such Miraculousness, That Even Today It Still Bowls Me Over.

To Me, Photography Is The Simultaneous Recognition, In A Fraction Of A Second, Of The Significance Of An Event.

To Take Photographs Means To Recognize - Simultaneously And Within A Fraction Of A Second - Both The Fact Itself And The Rigorous Organization Of Visually Perceived Forms That Give It Meaning. It Is Putting One's Head, One's Eye And One's Heart On The Same Axis.

Reality Offers Us Such Wealth That We Must Cut Some Of It Out On The Spot, Simplify. The Question Is, Do We Always Cut Out What We Should?
