When someone asks me, did you take that photograph?
You must have a really good camera!
I answer, The camera did not take it, I did.
The camera is a tool to caputure an image that I see in front of me, it does not matter what make of camera ,
it is the result of what we see by using our imagination and capturing that image.
Every photograph is a "one off" chance of a moment in time.
So what is this all about? Why do I do it?
“Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is
no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.”
― Henri Cartier-Bresson
“What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone
forever, impossible to reproduce.”
― Karl Lagerfeld
“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.”
― Henri Cartier-Bresson
Usually the amateur is defined as an immature state of the artist: someone who
cannot — or will not — achieve the mastery of a profession. But in the field of
photographic practice, it is the amateur, on the contrary, who is the assumption
of the professional: for it is he who stands closer to the noeme of Photography.”
― Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography
