Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.

When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.

When I'm asked about my work, I try to explain that there is no mystery involved. It is work. But things happen all the time that are unexpected, uncontrolled, unexplainable, even magical. The work prepares you for that moment. Suddenly the clouds roll in and the soft light you longed for appears.

It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.

What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
