The Camera Is For Us A Tool,

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.

Photographier: C'est Mettre Sur La Meme Ligne De Mire La Tete, L'oeil Et Le Coeur.

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.

For The World Is Movement, And You Cannot Be Stationary In Your Attitude Toward Something That Is Moving.

I Enjoy Very Much Seeing A Good Photographer Working. There’s An Elegance, Just Like In A Bullfight.
