Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past.
The camera is no more an instrument of preservation, the image is.
I didn't decide to be a photographer; I just happened to fall into it.
Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build, to initiate, to give out, to act - rather than to be acted upon, to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach, it sings a song of life - not death.
The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective.
