memories thinking mirrors
The camera is a mirror with a memory, but it cannot think.
art trying avant-garde
I didn't set out to do something different so much as do something that interested me. I wasn't trying to be avant-garde - that's being fashionable. You don't set out to revolutionize art, you make statements for yourself.
photography moving furniture
Photography is 1% talent and 99% moving furniture.
done painting wonder
I often wonder whether I would have done as well in painting.
photography real world
Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world.
ideas
Ideas visuales combinadas con tecnología e interpretación personal es igual a fotografía
art arrogant photographer
Those who call themselves art photographers are pompous, arrogant egoists.
reflection two shooting
Influences come from everywhere but when you are actually shooting you work primarily by instinct. But what is instinct? It is a lifetime accumulation of influence: experience, knowledge, seeing and hearing. There is little time for reflection in taking a photograph. All your experiences come to a peak and you work on two levels: conscious and unconscious.
men sometimes nonsense
I am convinced that any photographic attempt to show the complete man is nonsense. We can only show, as best we can, what the outer man reveals. The inner man is seldom revealed to anyone, sometimes not even the man himself.
personality finals impossible
It seems to me that no one picture can ever be a final summation of a personality. There are so many facets in every human being that it is impossible to present them all in one photograph.
heart reflection thinking
We don't take photographs with our cameras, we take them with our hearts and our minds. They are a reflection of ourselves...wha t we are and what we think.
photography perfect rules-and-regulations
There are no rules and regulations for perfect composition. If there were we would be able to put all the information into a computer and would come out with a masterpiece. We know that's impossible. You have to compose by the seat of your pants.
photography heart mind
We don't take pictures with cameras, we take them with our hearts and minds.
photography technology ideas
Visual ideas combined with technology combined with personal interpretation equals photography. Each must hold it's own; if it doesn't, the thing collapses.
