I suppose that photography resonates with me because most photos are so life-like. Just watch at some of the best photos made by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert and Cornell Capa, "Chim", Werner Bischof etc. You may feel as if you would yourself have been right there!
Some ten years ago I had an opportunity to roam along with an old man on the hills of Bihar (in Romania). The nature there is astonishingly beautiful. After a full days stroll we were coming downhill very fast. I ran ahead and made several photos of the dear old man, with the sun shining nearly towards the camera's lens. And what kind of photos did I get! I can still sense the strength and vitality of the eighty-year old Hungarian as he hurries downhill...
