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.

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

Everyone has a point of view. Some people call it style, but what we're really talking about is the guts of a photograph. When you trust your point of view, that's when you start taking pictures.

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

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.

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 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.
