I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

When you go to take someone's picture, the first thing they say is, what you want me to do? Everyone is very awkward.

I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.

I’d like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

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.

When I was younger, I did things with a camera I would not do by myself. I remember going down to the docks in San Francisco and asking a fisherman if he would take me out on his boat. I would never do that without a camera.
