Une petite promenade rue St Gilles à la Galerie Polka pour admirer les très belles photos
d' Elliott Erwitt, ça vous tente ?

La photographie, c'est la synthèse d'une situation. L'instant où tout s'assemble.
L'idéal insaisissable.
(Elliott Erwitt)

 The ratio of successful shots is one in God-knows-how-many. Sometimes you'll get several in
one contact sheet, and sometimes it's none for days. But as long as you go on taking pictures,
you're likely to get a good one at some point.
(Elliott Erwitt)

La photo n'est autre qu'un état d'oisiveté et de contemplation intenses qui aboutit à un bon
cliché noir et blanc.
(Elliott Erwitt)

I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that
make life more fun.
(Elliott Erwitt)

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my
amateur pictures are the better ones.
(Elliott Erwitt)

The thing is that when you don't carry a camera, that's when you see pictures in particular,
or  at least that's when you think you see pictures in particular. When you do carry it, if you
do see one on the occasion that you do, you can take it.
(Elliott Erwitt)

On peut sans doute enseigner le sens visuel, mais pas dans ce qu'il a de plus profond.
C'est une question d’œil mais aussi de cœur.
(Elliott Erwitt)

I've been around so long, most editors think I'm dead.
(Elliott Erwitt)

Somehow Photoshop and the ease with which one can produce an image has degraded
the quality of photography in general.
(Elliott Erwitt)
