There Is No Closed Figure In Nature.

Photography Must Seize Upon This Moment And Hold Immobile The Equilibrium Of It. The Photographers Eye Is Perpetually Evaluating. A Photographer Can Bring Coincidence Of Line Simply By Moving His Head A Fraction Of A Millimeter. He Can Modify Perspectives By A Slight Bending Of The Knees. By Placing The Camera Closer To Or Farther From The Subject, He Draws A Detail — And It Can Be Subordinated, Or He Can Be Tyrannized By It.

I'm Always Amused By The Idea That Certain People Have About Technique, Which Translate Into An Immoderate Taste For The Sharpness Of The Image. It Is A Passion For Detail, For Perfection, Or Do They Hope To Get Closer To Reality With This Trompe I'oeil? They Are, By The Way, As Far Away From The Real Issues As Other Generations Of Photographers Were When They Obscured Their Subject In Soft-focus Effects.

I Love Painting. As Far As Photography Is Concerned, I Understand Nothing.

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

To Photograph: It Is To Put On The Same Line Of Sight The Head, The Eye And The Heart.
