people black littles
I found a way of working which pleased me because I didn’t have to frighten people with heavy equipment. It was that little black box and me.
wall mind
What do you hang on the walls of your mind?
inspirational photography people
If the photographer is interested in the people in front of his lens, and if he is compassionate, it's already a lot. The instrument is not the camera but the photographer.
special use like-her
I never knew anyone who came close to Marilyn in natural ability to use both photographer and still camera. She was special in this, and for me there has been no one like her before or after. She has remained the measuring rod by which I have - unconsciously - judged other subjects.
photography people lenses
If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.
people secret bigs
If you are careful with people, they will offer you part of themselves. That is the big secret.
art sex thinking
...if you think of modern art like sex in all its forms - heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, multipartnered, bestial, whatever, with absolutely no holds barred and with everything available and permissible - that would be modern art.
fun men being-a-woman
Being a woman is just a marvelous plus in photographing. Men like to be photographed by women, it becomes flirtatious and fun, and women feel less as if they're expected to be in a relationship.
people ordinary lenses
I don't see anybody as either ordinary or extraordinary. I see them simply as people in front of my lens.
