If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.

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

I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.

What I end up shooting is the situation. I shoot the composition and my subject is going to help the composition or not.

Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.

People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.

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.
