I am still exploring the work of photographer Jane Bown. This photograph is of another inspirational photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson.
The following are quotes from the book "Unknown Bown".
"Some people take pictures. I find them"
"I love train stations and airports, places with lots of people where I can blend into the crowd and work unobserved"
"I was obsessed with textures and patterns—hair, cloth the grain of a piece of timber, the print of a fabric"
"I'm a one-shot photographer, I work quickly and hate fuss, always have done"
"I honestly think that all my best shots were taken on holiday"
"Sometimes I can see the picture immediately and then the first exposure is often the jackpot one"
"For that moment when I look through the lens, when absolutely everything is exactly right, love is the only way to describe what I feel"
"I can't really feel the excitement I felt when I looked down into that viewfinder, twisted the knob and everything came into focus"
"These pictures are the real me"
