I don't roam around with a camera and never did. I took pictures in spurts, for my books, for some assignments or on special occasions. Like people who take out their cameras for Christmas and birthdays. Each time, like them, probably, I feel itโs the first time and as if I would have to relearn the moves. Luckily, it comes pretty fast, like riding a bike.
William KleinI feel like I'm doing something that's worthwhile. I feel like I'm showing something other people haven't shown. I don't get to talk to the people who I photograph, I just go, along, banging away. So I don't really have a relationship with them. A lot of people think it's very important. I don't. It's like love at first sight. I have an impression when I see somebody, and I have an idea of who they are, or what they are.
William KleinBe yourself. I much prefer seeing something, even it is clumsy, that doesn't look like somebody else's work.
