Bernard Plossu: My first Photography Instructor

I'd like introduce you to French documentary photographer, Bernard Plossu. I first met Berard in 1984 at the Oklahoma Arts Institute. He was arguably my first formal photography instructor. He taught me about seeing, about childlike curiosity and much much more. I recall two bits of wisdom in particular...first he taught me how to make pictures while walking backwards. And, he explained to me (in broken English) the gift that every photographer understands by simply stating, "I cannot NOT see anymore." Do a Google image search and find one of Bernard's photographs that you like, post it and tell me what you think.
