"For me the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity, the master of the instant which, in visual terms, questions and decides simultaneously. In order to “give a meaning” to the world, one has to feel involved in what one frames through the viewfinder. This attitude requires concentration, discipline of mind, sensitivity, and a sense of geometry. It is by economy of means that one arrives at simplicity of expression.
To take a photograph is to hold one’s breath when all faculties converge in a face of fleeing reality. It is at that moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.
To take a photograph means to recognize – simultaneously and within a fraction of a second– both the fact itself and the rigorous organisation of visually perceived forms that give it meaning.
It is putting one’s head, one’s eye, and one’s heart on the same axis." www.henricartierbresson.org
I like good photography.
I'm a fan of the Dalai Lama, Michael Moore and President Barrack Obama.
I'm also a great admirer of Laura's Bush:

.Letter from Osama
Hi guys. We've all been putting in long hours but we've really come together as a group and I love that. Big thanks to Omar for putting up the poster that says, "There is no 'I' in team" as well as the one that says "Hang In There, Baby." That cat is hilarious.
However, while we are fighting a jihad, we can't forget to take care of the cave. And frankly I have a few concerns. First of all, while it's good to be concerned about the cruise missiles, we should be even more concerned about the scorpions in our cave. Hey, you don't want to be stung and neither do I so we need to sweep the cave daily. I've posted a sign up sheet near the main cave opening.
Second, it's not often I make a video address but when I do, I'm trying to scare the most powerful country on earth, okay? That means that while we're taping, please do not ride your razor scooter in the background. Just while we're taping. Thanks.
Third: food. I bought a box of Cheez-Its recently, clearly wrote Osama on the front, and put it on the top shelf. Today, my Cheez-Its were gone. Consideration. Thats all I'm saying.
Finally, we've heard that there may be American soldiers disguised, trying to infiltrate our ranks. I want to set up patrols to look for them. First patrol will be Omar, Muhammed, Abdul, Akbar, Oliver and Richard.
Love you guys.
Osama

Jedesmal wenn ich das sehen darf, was vor Du durch Deine Augen siehst...bin ich in jeder Hinsicht berührt und beeindruckt. Soy tan afectado de tus trabajos.. te doy un beso y un abrazo endless love Alicia
Bin's work reminds me of what I love best about photography-that there is always a possibility of seeing beyond the obvious. There is a humanity, a humor amongst the madness that keeps us going. I always look forward to where his keen eye takes us.

"When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly" (Tao Te Ching) Bin has a way of teaching without words. At first impression, one is entertained by his dark comedic view at life. Both social and political. But his photography is insanely profound. You get to be inside his head. And it's beautiful, there. His work is vulnerable, intelligent and emotional. Arresting a culture, a life, a smile .... he moves you first. And then he educates. I'm truly amazed, BIN. CAT
Read lessA great photographic's eye and an incredible sensibility make Bin's photography a travel around human condition and soul. I'm glad to know you Bin! Marco
