“I don’t have any method, I don’t have any guidelines. .. People will always be inherently fascinated by the work of a painter. There is nothing more uninteresting than a photographer taking photos….the world is rushing like lemmings from film… film is unique and inimitable and there is no reason why the analogue and digital worlds cannot coexist….
These were some of the comments fired at the audience from one of the world’s preeminent photographic artists.
