Photography helps people to see.
I didn’t decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
What the human eye observes causally and incuriously, the eye of the camera notes with relentless fidelity.
Does not the very word ‘creative’ mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act – rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life – not death.
Like every other means of expression, photography, if it is to be utterly honest and direct, should be related to the life of the times – the pulse of today.
Photography doesn’t teach you to express your emotions; it teaches you how to see.
Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone; it has to be itself.
Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.
I am so fascinated with this century it will help keep me alive. I’ll be there until the last minute, fighting.
I took to photography like a duck to water. I never wanted to do anything else. Excitement about the subject is the voltage which pushes me over the mountain of drudgery necessary to produce the final photograph.
There are many teachers who could ruin you. Before you know it you could be a pale copy of this teacher or that teacher. You have to evolve on your own.
Imagine a world without photography, one could only imagine.
