Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.
Photography has not changed since its origin except in its technical aspects, which for me are not important
Photography is, for me, a spontaneous impulse coming from an ever attentive eye which captures the moment and its eternity.
The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I want only to capture a minute part of reality.
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm – the relationship between shapes and values.
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).
