Anyone who is shooting, is shooting himself, this is a style of living, a state of mind. Great photographers don't treat this as work, they are as their photos are. Think of Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon, the great Newton, Guy Bourdin, Sally Mann, Jock Sturges, Bettina Reims, Ellen von Unwerth, Testino...

I remember what Victor Skrebneski told me one day, there is no error or mistake in what you do as a photographer, if you had fun in doing it.
