The photograph itself doesn't interest me. I just want to grab a slice of reality. I don't want to prove anything, anything to emphasize. Things and people speak for themselves. I don't do "kitchen". Work in the laboratory or in the Studio I have is nausea. I hate to manipulate - either during shooting or after, in a dark room. A good eye will always notice such manipulations... the Only moment of creation is one twenty fifth fraction of a second when the shutter clicks, the camera flashes light and movement stops.

To photograph is at one and the same moment, in the slightest fraction of a second to recognize the fact and the rigorous organization of seen forms that Express this fact. Put it on one line of sight the head, eye and heart.
