I agree, intellectualism in photography is overrated. I just wish it could be replaced by common sense.

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

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

My point is that meaning is always personal, changeable and subjective. There is no 'correct' interpretation of a photograph.

Words of wisdom for every photographer: 'Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking'. So said Goethe.

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

Only in art can you make something that no one wants and still be considered successful.
