It seems that today we take several hundred million photos a day. Anyone has a camera, the technology of which is 1,000 times superior to that of cameras from Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson or Robert Capa. Everyone takes pictures, taking pictures, isn't that under these conditions the art of the poor, the art of one who can do nothing other than push a button? This is to forget that, as Ansel Adams said, "the most important part in a camera is the 12 inches behind it". It is the artist who takes the photo, and in the end, "if the technique has changed a lot, photography has not changed since its inception", Cartier-Bresson already said.

After having done all the trades, I was finally able to let a new look, everyday surprising, everyday amazed, develop in me. The world is there, in front of me, it shows itself to me as to everyone. But my gaze is mine, and in that it is unique. Photography, for me, is an art, a unique art, a noble art.
