...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.

When we were kids, growing up in the sixties, the only images we had of ourselves were either still photographs or 8mm movies.... Now we have video, digital cameras, MP3s, and a million other ways to document ourselves. But the still photograph continues to hold a sense of mystery and awe to me.

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

I'm very empathic to the construction of masculinity within our culture and how we build these identities up.

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

There's a lesbian aesthetic, just as there's gay camp, but I don't know if there's such a thing as 'lesbian art.'

Light is everything in photographs and has to be considered in all situations.
