Photography hankers after the condition of the neutral observer. But there can be no such things as a neutral observer. For something to be seen, it must be looked at by somebody, and any true and real depiction must be an account of the experience of that looking.

On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger.

Smoking calms me down. It's enjoyable. I don't want politicians deciding what is exciting in my life.

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

My only worry is the painting I'm doing. Nothing else.

I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.

Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that.
