The Difference Between A Good Picture And

Think About The Photo Before And After, Never During. The Secret Is To Take Your Time. You Mustn't Go Too Fast. The Subject Must Forget About You. Then, However, You Must Be Very Quick.

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.

I'm Not Responsible For My Photographs. Photography Is Not Documentary, But Intuition, A Poetic Experience. It's Drowning Yourself, Dissolving Yourself, And Then Sniff, Sniff, Sniff - Being Sensitive To Coincidence. You Can't Go Looking For It; You Can't Want It, Or You Won't Get It. First You Must Lose Your Self. Then It Happens.

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.

Photography Has Not Changed Since Its Origin Except In Its Technical Aspects, Which For Me Are Not Important.
