Recording sessions were stimulating to photograph, because everything was in motion: the subject, the musicians, the technicians and the photographer. You needed fast reflexes to keep up with moving targets, and sensitivity and skill to get the pictures while keeping out of the performers' eyeline so as not to break their concentration.

If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.

What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion.

You can't make a great musician or a great photographer if the magic isn't there.

What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.
