However, I Must Stress That My Own

When I Make A Photograph I Want It To Be An Altogether New Object, Complete And Self-contained, Whose Basic Condition Is Order (unlike The World Of Events And Actions Whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder).

The Business Of Making A Photograph May Be Said In Simple Terms To Consist Of Three Elements: The Objective World (whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder), The Sheet Of Paper On Which The Picture Will Be Realized, And The Experience Which Brings Them Together.

It Is No Longer A Matter Of Expressing Reality, But Of Expressing What One Feels About Reality.

As Photographers, We Must Learn To Relax Our Beliefs. Move On Objects With Your Eye Straight On, To The Left, Around On The Right. Watch Them Grow Large As They Approach, Group And Regroup As You Shift Your Position. Relationships Gradually Emerge And Sometimes Assert Themselves With Finality. And That's Your Picture.

I Was Given A Small Camera As A Wedding Gift From A Very Dear Friend. My First Pictures Were Taken On My Honeymoon. As Soon As I Became Familiar With The Camera, I Was Intrigued With The Possibilities Of Expression It Offered. It Was Like A Discovery For Me.
