One Eye Looks Within, The Other Eye

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).

The Intensive Use Of Photographs By Mass Media Lays Ever Fresh Responsibilities Upon The Photographer. We Have To Acknowledge The Existence Of A Chasm Between The Economic Needs Of Our Consumer Society And The Requirements Of Those Who Bear Witness To This Epoch. This Affects Us All, Particularly The Younger Generations Of Photographers. We Must Take Greater Care Than Ever Not To Allow Ourselves To Be Separated From The Real World And From Humanity.

For Me The Camera Is A Sketch Book, An Instrument Of Intuition And Spontaneity, The Master Of The Instant Which, In Visual Terms, Questions And Decides Simultaneously. It Is By Economy Of Means That One Arrives At Simplicity Of Expression.

To Photograph: It Is To Put On The Same Line Of Sight The Head, The Eye And The Heart.

Some Photographs Are Like A Chekhov Short Story Or A Maupassant Story. They're Quick Things And There's A Whole World In Them. But One Is Unconscious Of It While Shooting.
