It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression  “To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes great physical and intellectual joy.  “in photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv”  “I adore shooting photographs… It’s like being a hunter. But some hunters are vegetarians- which is my relationship to photography”
