Most of what I want simply slips away like water flowing through a net, and always what remains are only vague, elusive fragments of images... that sink into countless strata in my mind.

For me, photography is not a means by which to create beautiful art, but a unique way of encountering genuine reality

The photographer who attempts to fit happily into the world by using the traditional perspective of the camera will end up falling into the hole of the "idea" he has dug for himself.

I want to take a lot of Nasty photos.

If you were to ask me to define a photograph in a few words, I would say it is a fossil of light and time.

[My] photos are often out of focus, rough, streaky, warped, etc. But if you think about it, a normal human being will in one day perceive an infinite number of images, and some of them are focused upon, others are barely seen out of the corner of one's eye.

I wanted to go to the end of photography.
