careers long mind
I had in mind a long career.
people ordinary lenses
I don't see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens.
cameras i-can
I can't hold a camera anymore.
photography accidents
I came to photography by accident.
trying special world
It's the hardest thing in the world to take the mundane and try to show how special it is.
serious journalism realizing
I realize that I had the best of serious picture journalism.
photography chance genre
A studio session ... provides the greatest chance for control. Even though there is total freedom, I still dislike studio photography and the contrived images that usually stem from this genre.
curiosity use would-be
What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.
giving people leica
What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing... if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.
age should
You should never reveal your true age.
curiosity digestion needs
What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion.
people height able
What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.
moving skills target
Recording sessions were stimulating to photograph, because everything was in motion: the subject, the musicians, the technicians and the photographer. You needed fast reflexes to keep up with moving targets, and sensitivity and skill to get the pictures while keeping out of the performers' eyeline so as not to break their concentration.
stars two long
If the chemistry is right between star and photographer and the geometry of the pictures pleases the star, often the two people end up with a long-term professional friendship during which they continue to work together and to produce highly personal images.
