It's marvelous, marvelous! Nothing will ever be as much fun. I'm going to photograph everything, everything!
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Image
To talk about photos rather than making them seems idiotic to me. It's as though I went on and on about a woman I adored instead of making love to her.

What’s so incredibly amusing with photography is that while seemingly an art of the surface, it catches things I haven’t even noticed. And it pains me not to have seen things in all their depth.

Photography and writing are marvelous distractions from painting. I might even have found movies more interesting than photography. I tried it a bit, but not enough.
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Image
I have never taken a photograph without one thought in my head to amuse myself.

I take photographs with love, so I try to make them art objects. But I make them for myself first and foremost - that is important.
