“To a nonpainter, oil paint is uninteresting and faintly unpleasant.

“When you act in a film, you're inevitably surrounded by people you didn't choose, right down to the set painter.

“Sometimes I envy painters, it is wonderful to remain in front of a bouquet of flowers a whole morning, or even longer. A photographer is like a cloud, pushed all around, always dependent on the exterior world. That's what I sometimes feel as a pain and an error.” WorldFeelsSometimesWholePainMorningWonderfulFrontsFlowerErrorsPhotographerCloudsEnvyPainterDependentExteriorBouquets Author:Edouard Boubat
