Sharpness Is A Bourgeois Concept

The Simultaneous Recognition, In A Fraction Of A Second, Of The Significance Of An Event As Well As The Precise Organization Of Forms Which Gives That Event Its Proper Expression... In Photography, The Smallest Thing Can Be A Great Subject. The Little Human Detail Can Become A Leitmotif.

A Photographer Is Part Pick-pocket And Part Tightrope Dancer.

To Take Photographs Means To Recognize - Simultaneously And Within A Fraction Of A Second - Both The Fact Itself And The Rigorous Organization Of Visually Perceived Forms That Give It Meaning. It Is Putting One's Head, One's Eye And One's Heart On The Same Axis.

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).

During The Work, You Have To Be Sure That You Haven't Left Any Holes, That You've Captured Everything, Because Afterwards It Will Be Too Late.
