Evolution in action: First, God said, 'Let there be light.' Then, he created two nude models. Now we have photographers.

I seem to walk in the world as two people. The normal everyday-me is as preoccupied, unobservant and oblivious to visual clues as I ever was. Then there is the photographer-me, the one who has a camera in hand and a specific project in mind, and then the world suddenly jumps to life with potential pictures, as if a switch had been thrown in my brain and a different person is looking out of the same eyes.

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

A photograph is a picture and no more true or false than any other depiction; why is that so hard to comprehend?

Asked for your opinion on the prints, you have two choices: truth or tact. I ask for the bathroom.

Think clearly, act sensibly, commit yourself to caring and work hard in order to discover joy. Then give the images back to the world from which they were taken.

Photography opens your eyes a little wider to the world around you.
