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 pictures of my family were designed to be on a family wall, they were supposed to be together. It was supposed to copy my mother's wall in her house.

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

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.

When I'm asked about my work, I try to explain that there is no mystery involved. It is work. But things happen all the time that are unexpected, uncontrolled, unexplainable, even magical. The work prepares you for that moment. Suddenly the clouds roll in and the soft light you longed for appears.

I fight to take a good photograph every single time.
