It's time to debate images, especially when someone's going to prison for downloading them.

In fact, I'm a bit of a slob, but I've always said my excuse, I have a higher sense of order, I can see it where others can't. That's my excuse for slobbery, I must admit, but I think it's a good one.

It sometimes takes a foreigner to come and see a place and paint it. I remember someone saying they had never really noticed the palm trees here until I painted them.

The camera can't see space. It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting.

Photographs aren't accounts of scrutiny. The shutter is open for a fraction of a second.

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

Nature, never, never let's you down, it's not a cliché, nature isn't a cliché, pictures might be, but you can get tired of pictures.
