It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.
It is the photo that takes you. One must not take photos.
What reinforces the content of a photograph is the sense of rhythm - the relationship between shapes and values.
There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye must see a composition or an expression that life itself offers you, and you must know with intuition when to click the camera. That is the moment the photographer is creative. Oop!

It is one thing to photograph people. It is another to make others care about them by revealing the core of their humanness.
The best images are the ones that retain their strength and impact over the years, regardless of the number of times they are viewed.
