“When I take a photograph, I feel like a young man again—ageless.
In the sublime moment of making a photograph, there is nothing else to wait for; it is there. Time has melted in an instant. Some have invented eternity; I am simply a modern inventor. I play with the moment. Whoever finds a treasure—a treasure offered to everyone—becomes its inventor, its discoverer, a catcher of light.
‘Come, my love, enter. Take a look. Just for the pleasure.’”
~ Edouard Boubat
(1923-1999)
Edouard devoted his life to discovering beauty and so much beauty has he left us.
He was just like his photos, a wonderful human being to be with and to collaborate with.
He never lost his wonderment. This is one of his last great images. As magical as his early work. He never lost it.
