Many People Who Excel Are Self-taught.

I'd Go Down To The End Of My Street, To A Garage That Had A Certain Feeling About It, Or A Particular Light; I'd Take A Picture Of A Friend Who Needed A Head Shot. That's How I Learned, Instead Of Having School Assignments And Learning Camera Techniques.

For Me, The Most Important Thing I Learned Was Just Honing My Eye. I Think I Had A Good Eye.

Well, I Liked It - That Was The Main Thing. I Liked It, But I Didn't Think Of It In Terms Of A Career. I Didn't Really Know; I Didn't Really Think About It. One Thing Just Led To Another Until Finally I Quit My Job As A Salesman And Found Myself Working As A Photographer.

Generally, The French Highly Promote Culture And The Arts, And Photography Is In Their Blood.

And What Excites Me Most Is The Type Of Public, The Fact That The Parisian People Have A Broader Cultural Understanding Than Many Americans Do.
