Far more interesting than problem solving is problem creation.

From my point of view, photography never got any better than it was in 1840.

Painting is a lie. It's the most magic of all media, the most transcendent. It makes space where there is no space.

I have always attempted to create images that deliver the maximum amount of information about the subject.

Any innovation that is evident in my paintings is a direct result of something that happened in the course of making a print.

Inspiration is highly overrated. If you sit around and wait for the clouds to part, it's not liable to ever happen. More often than not, work is salvation.

Losing my father at a tender age was extremely important in being able to accept what happened to me later when I became a quadriplegic.
