I am incredibly tempted to capture a situation, a moment, free of any metaphor...without choreographie, without any arrangment...just like that, capture the moment. And it is that feeling which pulls me into the world of street photography...this unexpected, cramp-free feeling...simply a situation in which everybody has to come to his own conclusion. A picture gives us the feeling like holding the whole world in our hands. Pictures are documents of the moment, of life, history. The art of photography transforms the world into a persistent offer to flee from reality to fantasy, from pain to happiness – trough soul's window, the eye. -Mario Cohen-
