In a world where the 2 billionth photograph has been uploaded to Flickr, which looks like an Eggleston picture!

Watching my daughter sort of live in this world where a photograph is not something to keep a memory. It's something to just speak with. It's language.

I've never been the type of photographer to live with people I photograph. You know, shoot heroin with them, that kind of thing. I respect those photographers that work that way.
