I have to shoot three cassettes of film a day, even when not 'photographing', in order to keep the eye in practice.
Josef KoudelkaIf I am dissatisfied, it's simply because good photos are few and far between. A good photo is a miracle.
Josef KoudelkaFor me what photographers say about their photos doesnโt have any importance. For me it is just enough to look at the pictures. Many times - for the boring pictures - people have to say so many things about them to show you there is something to them when many times there is nothing.
Josef KoudelkaI don't like captions. I prefer people to look at my pictures and invent their own stories.
Josef KoudelkaWhen I photograph, I do not think much. If you looked at my contacts you would ask yourself: "What is this guy doing?" But I keep working with my contacts and with my prints, I look at them all the time. I believe that the result of this work stays in me and at the moment of photographing it comes out, without my thinking of it.
