To a certain extent what I do is play with the world, but it's disciplined play.

Photograph because you love doing it, because you absolutely have to do it, because the chief reward is going to be the process of doing it. Other rewards - recognition, financial remuneration - come to so few and are so fleeting...Take photography on as a passion, not a career.

Ultimately, the reward is the process - the process of photographing and discovering and trying to understand why and what am I photographing.

To a certain extent what I do is play with the world, but it's disciplined play.

I only know how to approach a place by walking. For what does a street photographer do but walk and watch and wait and talk, and then watch and wait some more, trying to remain confident that the unexpected, the unknown, or the secret heat of the known awaits just around the corner.

Running through a lot of traditional photojournalism there is an overwhelming sense of... pictures that say something, that define something. I'm not trying to define things. I'm trying to explore things. I'm trying to ask questions.

The viewer is yet another eye that is part of the compact that makes a photograph what it is.
