FRANK HORVAT: This makes me think of an answer
Marc Riboud give me when I asked him whether he felt at home in Saigon. "Never," he said, "but I don't feel any more at home in Lyon, which is my home town. In fact I prefer not to feel any more at home. I work best in situations where I am removed from my usual context."

PATRICK ZACHMANN: ... The way we photographers work is by moving from one subject to another, each time catching a glimpse of that world, as if through a half-opened door. Our images are like bridges to these worlds, or like a shorthand by which our viewers can get a partial idea of realities very different from their own. I also see it as an exchange between the external world and my own personal one, the result being a testimony on both.
我们从事摄影者的工作方式,是从一个主题换到另一个主题,每一回捕捉到的是对那个世界所望的一眼,就像望进一扇半开的门。我们的影响犹如通往这些世界的桥 梁,也像是一种速记,读者由其中所得到的片段现实,和他们自己的理念是非常不同的。我也把它看成是外在世界和我自己四人的一种交换,而交换的结果是对两者的一种证明。
