“I went to work with a vengeance——directed as much against photography which I was discovering as the city I was rediscovering. My secret weapon was a peculiar double vision half native, half foreigner. The pictures I took for the diary book were my first “real” photographs. In Paris I had started to see what I could do with a camera but this time I had a bona fide project.”
~ William Klein
