My 'work' is about seeing not about ideas.

Quality … has to do with intention.

I wasn't imposing my presence on anyone, which is very important for a would- be journalist. I stayed back. Always let people be themselves.

Everybody's got to do something... I'd been on my own since an early age and I thought I better find something to do to buy biscuits and stuff. From high school onwards I was earning my way with photography, one way or another, working in darkrooms and taking pictures of weddings, neighbors' children and so on.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

After following the crowd for a while, I'd then go 180 degrees in the exact opposite direction. It always worked for me.

Most photographers work best alone, myself included.
