∞What’s so striking about black and white photography is how it really helps a sense of reality to come through.

Street Photography Now habe ich zu meiner Fotobibel für 2012 erkoren. Ein Muss für jeden Streetfotografen.
∞Make a picture that is funny and sad at the same time. A photography that simultaneously evokes pathos, irony and humour.
∞I believe that the photographer’s job is to cut a frame-sized slice out of the world around him, so faithfully and honestly that if he were to put it back, life and the world would begin to move again without a stumble.
∞It’s exciting to make something extraordinary out of the banal.
∞It might all come together for a moment and then just as quickly it is gone.
∞See the characters but create your own plot.
∞When you hit that wall of utter frustration while photographing in the street, when you are beyond tired and just want to give up, keep on walking – for another hour, or until the light goes entirely. Often the best photographs come when you least expect them – when you are the most exhausted, and the most emotionally vulnerable.
∞While walking the street constantly look behind yourself, the light is always different.
∞Buy a good pair of comfortable shoes, have a camera around your neck at all times, keep your elbows in, be patient, optimistic and don’t forget to smile.
