“For me, Picasso was the ultimate man. It took me some years to get close to him. He almost became my grandfather. He was a magician. He taught me that photography is all about how you approach an image. What you do and what you don’t do. He inspired me to go beyond what you think is in front of you. He said “it took me all my life to draw like a child.” That’s how I feel. It’s taken me all my life to take a good picture!”
