"In the West people have to have all this stuff to be happy, but we don't have this system. But physical poverty doesn't mean moral poverty. In Africa we have moral riches and happiness in our hearts... I stick with black and white, and film. It's what I know. And I can do my own developing and printing. A good photographer should always do that. To be a good photographer, you need to have a talent to observe, and to know what you want. You have to choose the shapes and the movements that please you, that look beautiful. Equally, you need to be friendly, sympathique. It's very important to be able to put people at their ease. It's a world, someone's face. When I capture it, I see the future of the works. I believe with my heart and soul in the power of image, but you also have to be sociable. I'm lucky. It's in my nature." - Malick Sidibé (1936 - April 15,2016) #TheEyeOfBamako #Mali #AfricanLegend #GlobalIconOfPhotography #RestInTheBeautyOfMakingPictures #OurGlobalFusion
