The quote indicates his point of view in photography. “His words and philosophy truly resonated in me when I started photography, as it seemed like he was never forcing anything out, but just being in the moment, trying to make the best of what was unfolding in front of his eyes,” said Mr. Jean. “I try to remember that the process of making beautiful photographs is what matters the most when I start having doubts or getting frustrated.” … [Read more...] about Unexpected country, unexpected job
