Nature is a dream state at this point, that we almost don't have a real relationship to it unless it's people living off the land and killing our own food and going for it.

I do photograph things for people to look at 100 years from now. But we're such a mediated society that things become historical the next day.

I'm a complete supporter of Obama and kind of in love with him.

...things become mainstream when they become imaged over and over again. Something happens in relationship to ideas of representation that makes it more palatable or digestible.

I'm kind of a twisted social documentary photographer.

I always give a print to everybody I photograph, and some of my subjects have told me they have a hard time hanging them up at home.

Language is a very complicated thing, and that's one of the reasons why I like making photographs.
