"I took thousands of pictures - in colour and black and white, with large and small cameras, with lenses from 35mm to 400mm, using the Pavilion lighting and my own, taking photographs from every angle at any hour of the day or night. It was an experience that cannot be put into words, the experience of being in the presence of the mystery of true greatness."
