Artist's Statement
en-ca I do not believe in the “machine gun technique” – shooting aimlessly – where you might come up with a few worthwhile shots.… It is necessary that you familiarize yourself with the event in advance, find out what, how and where it will happen. Be informed about your subject and be alive to what is happening. Above all, learn to “feel” with the event and learn to observe and to see.
