I'm pretty used to people not liking having their picture taken. I mean, if you do like to have your picture taken, I worry about you.

When you involve people, they come out, you see them, you get to see their sense of humor.

I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.
