There Are Days When Simply Seeing Feels

Life Is Short. Forgive Quickly. Kiss Slowly.

You've Got To Struggle Against The Pollution Of Intelligence In Order To Become An Animal With Very Sharp Instincts - A Sort Of Intuitive Medium - So That To Photograph Becomes A Magical Act, And Slowly Other More Suggestive Images Begin To Appear Behind The Visible Image, For Which The Photographer Cannot Be Held Responsible.

The Photographer Must Be Absorbent - Like A Blotter, Allow Himself To Be Permeated By The Poetic Moment... His Technique Should Be Like An Animal Function... He Should Act Automatically.

For A Photographer, The First 70 Years Are A Bit Difficult, But After That Things Get Better.

I Don't Usually Give Out Advice Or Recipes, But You Must Let The Person Looking At The Photograph Go Some Of The Way To Finishing It. You Should Offer Them A Seed That Will Grow And Open Up Their Minds.
