I couldn't have said it better myself...

I'm still learning how to put into words what it means to me to be a photographer but I found this quote from an brilliant old photographer in a book of his work and thoughts.... and it's perfect.


To take photographs means to recognize simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye, and one's heart on the same axis.

~Henri Cartier-Bresson
