To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis.
During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late.
