If you are a writer and you are in Rome you will have a specific connection to it, then perhaps you will go to Sweden and you will have a different connection and it will be a very different experience.

In the end, photography for me is just an excuse to get to know the world.

What the eye sees is a synthesis of who you are and all you have learned. This is what I would call the language of photography.

I think that any photographer is an investigator. Photography is a pretext to know the world, to know life. To know yourself.

I do not understand what makes me take a picture. Cartier-Bresson talks about the decisive moment, the necessity to function with lynx eyes and silk gloves. Perhaps what happens when you press the shutter is an intuitive act infused with all you have learned.

I never use a telephoto lens. I need to be close to people. I need their complicity; I need them to be aware that I am there taking their picture. I hate paparazzi.
