I'm always amused by the idea that certain people have about technique, which translate into an immoderate taste for the sharpness of the image. It is a passion for detail, for perfection, or do they hope to get closer to reality with this trompe I'oeil? They are, by the way, as far away from the real issues as other generations of photographers were when they obscured their subject in soft-focus effects.

The picture is good or not from the moment it was caught in the camera.

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time.

Pictures, regardless of how they are created and recreated, are intended to be looked at. This brings to the forefront not the technology of imaging, which of course is important, but rather what we might call the eyenology (seeing).

Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.

Only a fraction of the camera's possibilities interests me - the marvelous mixture of emotion and geometry, together in a single instant.
