Sensibility... is a direct and particular reaction to the separate and individual nature of things. It begins and ends with the sensuous apprehension of colour, texture and formal relations; and if we strive to organize these elements, it is not with the idea of increasing the knowledge of the mind, but rather in order to intensify the pleasure of the senses Picture Quote #1

I do what I feel, that’s all. I am an ordinary photographer working for his own pleasure. That’s all I’ve ever done Picture Quote #1

Aesthetic pleasure is not to be taken lightly; it’s very important for the spirit and therefore the health Picture Quote #1
