I go to places I want to go and see how they fit in. If I wait for the phone to ring, for me to go to the places I want to go, it’s not going to happen."<br /><br />I think what you mention is also true. Photojournalists need to stop being so literal; documentary does not just mean take pictures of exactly what is in front of you...Max Colsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140047577746092732noreply@blogger.com
