Quote

I had been teaching myself photography.

I never read about photography.

I came to photography by accident.

I still love to look at photographs but I couldn't do it myself anymore.

My father thought photography was done by lowlifes.

I guess I knew my dad was into photography, so a part of me was interested in picking it up to understand him a little better.

I became kind of a drop-out in science after I came back to America. I wanted to photograph.

That's true, because I'm a photographer now.

Once the amateur's naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.
