"The moment always dictates in my work. What I feel, I do. This is the most important thing for me. Everybody can look, but they don't necessarily see. I never calculate or consider; I see a situation and I know that it's right, even if I have to go back to get the proper lighting."

I shall correct part of my first comment. It is André Kertész's Times Square photographs and not Central Park's. But the spirit is of the man is what matters.

Cheers Mariana.

@Stéphane Thémèze: Love André Kertész's, so comparing my image with whatever image by him is an enormous compliment to me ;) Cheers !
