“It’s weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime, trying to capture moments that added together, don’t even amount to a couple of hours.Once photography enters your bloodstream, it is like a disease.”
CAMERA LIFE.
“Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important and capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.When I photograph, what I’m really doing is seeking answers to things.”
BEST PHOTOGRAPHS.
“It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.I like to photograph anyone before they know what their best angles are.Great photography is about depth of feeling, not depth of field.”
PLEASURES OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
“The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.”
PAUSE AND LOOK AT THE REALITY.
“My life is shaped by the urgent need to wander and observe, and my camera is my passport.Look and think before opening the shutter. The heart and mind are the true lens of the camera.”
COMMUNICATION IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
“A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.I wish that all of nature’s magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.”
OBSERVATIONS IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.The picture that you took with your camera is the imagination you want to create with reality.”
SENSES IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
THE STORY BEHIND PHOTOGRAPHY.
“Photography is the story I fail to put into words.When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.”
