A Quote from Mario Testino about Photography

The magic of photography, per se, is that you can capture an instant of a second that couldn't exist before and couldn't exist after.
It's almost like a cowboy that draws his gun. You draw a second before or after, you miss and you're dead - not them. To me, photography's always like that.
