You Just Have To Live And Life

I'm Always Amused By The Idea That Certain People Have About Technique, Which Translate Into An Immoderate Taste For The Sharpness Of The Image. It Is A Passion For Detail, For Perfection, Or Do They Hope To Get Closer To Reality With This Trompe I'oeil? They Are, By The Way, As Far Away From The Real Issues As Other Generations Of Photographers Were When They Obscured Their Subject In Soft-focus Effects.

We Must Avoid However, Snapping Away, Shooting Quickly And Without Thought, Overloading Ourselves With Unnecessary Images That Clutter Our Memory And Diminish The Clarity Of The Whole.

Thinking Should Be Done Beforehand And Afterwards - Never While Actually Taking A Photograph.

Why Do Photographers Start Giving Numbers To Their Prints? It’s Absurd. What Do You Do When The 20th Print Has Been Done? Do You Swallow The Negative? Do You Shoot Yourself? It’s The Gimmick Of Money.

What Reinforces The Content Of A Photograph Is The Sense Of Rhythm - The Relationship Between Shapes And Values.
