I think of myself as a reportage photographer. I like the word. It implies a personal account of an observed event with connotations of subjectivity but honesty. It is eye-witness photography.

...one day I was speculating on how I would like to look back on life and I decided I wanted to feel that I was a photographer rather than a teacher. As simple as that.

I'm a photographer, obviously. My chosen tool for understanding life, and communicating the results of this search to others, is the camera.

You are not a photographer because you are interested in photography.

The destination of the photograph is to reveal what something or somebody looked like, under a particular set of conditions, at a particular moment in time, and to transmit the results to others.

The most important piece of equipment after the camera is a good pair of shoes.

Learn from the best; the second raters have nothing to offer.
