Photography is inextricably linked with life; the photographer is not invisibly behind the camera but projecting a life-attitude through the lens to create an interference pattern with the image. Who he is, what he believes, not only becomes important to know intellectually, but also becomes revealed emotionally and visibly through a body of work.

Photographers have already photographed everything too many times, except cheese.

Ask photographers to write and they have nothing to say; ask them to talk about their work and they won't shut up.

I talk a lot about photography. It's cheap becuase my supply always exceeds demand.

But there are times when thinking is misplaced, like when taking photographs. You cannot think your way to making photographs; you can photograph your way to clearer thinking.

At exhibition openings always praise the chicken for laying eggs; you can wring its neck later.

I start a lot of photo projects but never seem to. . . .
