“The kind of photography I like best is honest, straightforward photography. There should be a clean idea behind the picture, some reason for taking the photograph- be it an interesting action or a fascinating shape. I believe that the decisive part of the work should be done with the camera at the time of the initial exposure” - Wolf Suschitzky

Wolf was one of my all time favorite photographers. Going to see him on my frequent trips back to London was always a highlight. I have net met such an enthusiastic, positive person in my life. I think that was the reason for his long and productive life. He passed away at the ripe old age of 104 years old. He was still making discoveries in his archive that he printed for me right up to the end. One sees little pain or misery in his images, just everyday life.
