"Hunters, after all, aren't cooks"

"To take photographs means to recognize -simultaneously and within in a fraction of a second- both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."

"I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography.Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks."

By Henri Cartier-Bresson
