Sur la photographie

"In photography there are no words, only symmetry and emotion. There is a meditation to the still image however, that comes from stopping to look at the geometry of the world with all our senses in order to capture a bit of it and confine it to one small space in recognition of a personal point of view. Photography cast aside the clutter, the commotion, and the noise of the world, in order to keep its form, shape and substance true to itself and in one complete thought. We decline the artificiality of invention, intervention and control, and the emotionless mechanical options of the camera, in exchange for the privilege of witness and the power of seeing." (p. 157)
