Ik vind het heel sterk van je dat je steeds een fragiele kant van de toevallige passant weet vast te leggen, of je nu in NY bent of in een bergdorp in Roemenië, … Steeds merk je het op, zonder te oordelen of er een boodschap in te willen stoppen. Je maakt een heldere foto van een diepe emotie… Een haarscherpe foto zonder interpretatie. Het ontroert me sterk!
