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 like that time is marked by each sunrise and sunset whether or not you actually see it.

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.

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

My dad was a very conservative Republican businessman, so obviously I considered it a problem when I realized I was a lesbian.

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

The reason I call myself a documentary photographer is the idea of how photographs contain and participate in history.
