Photography Is Very Presumptuous. Photographers Are Always

I Am An Expressionist And By That I Mean That I'm Not A Photographer Or A Writer Or A Painter Or A Tap Dancer, But Rather Someone Who Expresses Himself According To His Needs.

Photography Is Very Presumptuous. Photographers Are Always Photographing Other People's Lives - Something They Know Nothing About - And Drawing Great Inferences Into It.

If I Indulge Myself And Surrender To Memory, I Can Still Feel The Knot Of Excitement That Gripped Me As I Turned The Corner Into Rue Mimosas, Looking For The House Of Rene Magritte. It Was August, 1965. I Was 33 Years Old And About To Meet The Man Whose Profound And Witty Surrealist Paintings Had Contradicted My Assumptions About Photography.

Even In The Deepest Love Relationship - When Lovers Say 'i Love You' To Each Other - We Don't Really Know What We're Saying, Because Language Isn't Equal To The Complexity Of Human Emotions.

Most Photographs, To Me, Are Description, But They Lack Insight.
