Things happen in front of you. That's perhaps the most wonderful and mysterious aspect of photography.

People buy ideas, they don't buy photographs.

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

I was scared to do anything in the studio because it felt so claustrophobic. I wanted to be somewhere where things could happen and the subject wasn't just looking back at you.

There is a myth that the portrait photographer is supposed to make the subject relax, and that's the real person. But I'm interested in whatever is going on. And I'm not that comfortable myself.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.
