When I Have A Camera In My

Yes, I Sold Buttons To Earn Living. But I Took Pictures To Keep On Living. Pictures Are My Life – As Necessary As Eating Or Breathing.

The Most Important Thing... Is Not Clicking The Shutter... It Is Clicking With The Subject.

My Style Hasn't Changed Much In All These Sixty Years. I Still Use, Most Of The Time, Existing Light And Try Not To Push People Around. I Have To Be As Much A Diplomat As A Photographer.
