images and thoughts on photography
"The camera is my tool.
Through it I give a reason to everything around me."
-Andre Kertesz
"He was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty
but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it."


There are very few Cartier-Bressons, Brassais, and W. Eugene Smiths in the world, but to me these men are photographers. They are artists because they make statements that all of us wish we could have made.
- Arnold Newman, Interviews with Master Photographers.
