Willy Ronis, the famous post-war French photographer died last week (Aug.14 1910 - Sept.12,2009).Known for his remarkable respect for the subjects he captured in black and white on the streets of Paris, Willy Ronis compositions evoke strongly the emotive subtleties of everyday moments. Among the numerous quotes attributed to Willy Ronis, I like this: "I never took a mean photo. I never wanted to make people look ridiculous. I always had a lot of respect for the people I photographed." (AP interview 2005).
I wish photographers and photojournalists in India understand the import of this quote.
