I’ve said about a million times that the best thing a young photographer can do is to stay close to home. Start with your friends and family, the people who will put up with you. Discover what it means to be close to your work, to be intimate with a subject. Measure the difference between that and working with someone you don't know as much about. Of course there are many good photographs that have nothing to do with staying close to home, and I guess what I'm really saying is that you should take pictures of something that has meaning for you

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.

One doesn't stop seeing. One doesn't stop framing. It doesn't turn off and turn on. It's on all the time.

In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.

I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

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

Irving Penn said he didn't want to photograph anyone under 60, and I think there is some truth about it.
