To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

One eye of the photographer looks wide open through the viewfinder, the other, the closed looks into his own soul.

He made me suddenly realize that photographs could reach eternity through the moment.

Photographier: c'est mettre sur la meme ligne de mire la tete, l'oeil et le coeur.

To photograph: it is to put on the same line of sight the head, the eye and the heart.

There is no closed figure in nature. Every shape participates with another. No one thing is independent of another, and one thing rhymes with another, and light gives them shape.

Pictures should never be posed. They are 'revealed' so must be accepted as they are. Left alone.
