Real diary (652) im Rückspiegel

Berlin. With another academic year in mind.
“You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.”
Garry Winogrand
Great post. And I agree. The eye is everything. Joseph Gillain, aka Jijé, as he was teaching Franquin would tell him: “when you draw, don’t look at your paper, look at the subject, and let your hand draw”. 🙂
(Not sure how it applies to photography, but I’m sure it must)
My simple camera guides me. And my eyes. And my intuition. And the fact that I don’t have to sell my pictures:)
That also. Tout pour le plaisir de l’art. 😉
Heureusement je ne dois pas vivre de l’art… j’aurais perdu mon âme. Mais j’en ressens le plaisir…
A good point. Quand je vois les prix d’un Van Gogh aujourd’hui et qu’il est mort pratiquement dans la misère… Better art for pleasure indeed. A +.
