"...I am in my 70's now and people tell me all the time that these are my reflective years. But for me it is hard to look back when I am so engaged with present, at least the "now" that exists in the perfect environment I have created around my home. Our culture today is crammed full of celebrity imagery, Photoshop reality, digital enhancement and I for one am not buying into it. It is when I see the faces if the models and students and aspiring actors and artists who pass through my life, taht I long to photograph them. That is my fantasy life. They keep me dreaming." Extrait de The Moviegoer par Paul Jasmin.
