Thinking Should Be Done Before And After,

A Photographer Is Part Pick-pocket And Part Tightrope Dancer.

It Is By Great Economy Of Means That One Arrives At Simplicity Of Expression.

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

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.

Everyone Has Got Some Preconceptions, But You Have To Readjust Them In Front Of Reality. Reality Has The Last Word.
