In New York, unlike Holland, there are newspaper stands on every corner. That was a big headline all over the city.

My photography has really always been about what I feel I'm getting out of it. What people on the outside get doesn't concern me.

I always thought that I was lazy because I could never tell if I was working or not. I was making things, which doesn't seem like work.

I do feel a kinship with anthropology or ethnography, although when you hear those terms you think of something exotic. Generally, photographic anthropology has that taste of the faraway or undiscovered place. But my anthropology has more to do with what's in my reach.

The place where I am is always my favorite place.
