« I am sensible to a certain ambiguity in photography. Not be sure if what you see.
When you don’t know why the photographer took the picture, and sudently, you discover something, you start seeing.
Many pictures were taken in my neighbourhood, near my block, you don’t always need to run worldwide.
I have to say I am not an admirer of the ugly.
I have a huge consideration for beauty.
It is pleasant ! Some photographers think that working on misery is morking on something profound. I don’t think misery is more profound than happiness.
I think I learned to see what others don’t see, to react to things.
I have seen the world, not really prepared to anything.
Photography allowed me to take pleasure in seeing, it is an endless jubilation. »
Saul Leiter
