Ernst Haas

"I never really wanted to be a photographer. It slowly grew out of the compromise of a boy who desired to combine two goals—explorer or painter. I wanted to travel, see and experience. What better profession could there be than the one of a photographer, almost a painter in a hurry, overwhelmed by too many constantly changing impressions? But all my inspirational influences came much more from all the arts than from photo magazines."

(Coleman, A. D. (2000). "Painter in a Hurry". Ernst Haas Website: The Photography of Ernst Haas.)
