Taking The Photograph Is The Easiest Part

Art Is Really Whispering, Not Shouting.

Art Is Not Fashionable. That's Why Fashion And Art Are Two Different Things. Fashion Can Never Be Art Because Fashion Deals With Whim, What Is Temporary, What Changes, What Is Transient, What Is Now And Not Now. Art Has To Deal With Issues That Are Timeless, That Never Change.

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.

I Never Went To A Photography School, Which Was My Saving Grace.

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