Thanks for sharing this link. Extremely interesting. These passages in particular...
'It’s always re-examining, trying to be more lucid and freer and go deeper and deeper."
"People should guess if it’s a good wine. But no, they want to see the label. This is awful. That’s why there shouldn’t be any captions. People should just look.... I think photographs should have no caption, just location and date. Date is important because things change."
"when something happens, you have to be extremely swift. Like an animal and a prey — vroom! You grasp it and people don’t notice that you have taken it.... I enjoy very much seeing a good photographer working. There’s an elegance, just like in a bullfight."
"... you shouldn’t overshoot. It’s like overeating, overdrinking. You have to eat, you have to drink. But over is too much. Because by the time you press, you arm the shutter once more, and maybe the picture was in between."
"The difference between a good picture and a mediocre picture is a question of millimeters — small, small differences — but it’s essential."
“Ah, this is true. You felt it right.”
