One of my favorite vampire movies is 'Nosferatu,' which has a palpable sense of dread that's a pre-war dread.

In a relationship when things are really great you don't need to say anything and just enjoy the other person. Sometimes with a couple, it gets dark and you don't know what to say and that silence can last all day. Other times you don't want to stop talking because you don't want to lose one another.

I'm fascinated by how ethnic communities have assimilated into massive capitalist environments.

Maybe silence is something we're uncomfortable with as a culture, I don't know.

I was drawn to photography as an extension of film, and the beauty of film is that it's a sensuous, fetishistic medium.

I think the beauty of images is that they are by definition fetishes and every image (banal or not) as a fetish holds within it the promise of a sensuousness that (without generalizing) at least I, as a human being, am drawn to.
