Shadows sometimes people don't see shadows. The Chinese of course never paint them in pictures, oriental art never deals with shadow. But I noticed these shadows and I knew it meant it was sunny.

I've always said that the only thing a photograph is good at capturing faithfully is another flat surface.

In my old age, I'll be in L.A.

The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.

We don't all see the same way at all. Even if I'm sitting looking at you, there is always the memory of you as well. And a memory is now. So someone who's never met you before is seeing a different person. That's bound to be the case. We all see something different. I assume most people don't look very hard at anything.

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.

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