For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
When you're growing up your mother says, "Wear rubbers or you'll catch cold." When you become an adult you discover that you have the right not to wear rubbers and to see if you catch cold or not. It's something like that.
The more specific you are, the more general it'll be.
I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse.
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
There are an awful lot of people in the world and it's going to be terribly hard to photograph all of them... It was my teacher Lisette Model who finally made it clear to me that the more specific you are, the more general it will be.
