With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
Photography allows you to learn to look and see. You begin to see things you'd never paid attention to.
Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.
My inspiration has always been photography's ability to stop time and reveal what the naked eye cannot see.
The camera can be the most deadly weapon since the assassin's bullet. Or it can be the lotion of the heart.
As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.
The art of seeing nature, or, in other words, the art of using models, is in reality the great object, the point to which all our studies are directed.
To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.
