On PhotographyQuoting from Cartier-Bresson:
‘For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to “give a meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression. To take a photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.’
On design
Design: if we dissect this word, ‘de’ connotes to destroy, remove, pull down. ‘Signs’, something we see around which provide us with information, perhaps educated by the government or by commercial enterprises. Thus, explicitly, design means to reformulate things that are already around us in a way that will bring surprises, convenience, practical and daring possibilities.
