You see someone on the street, and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw.
Everything is so superb and breathtaking. I am creeping forward on my belly like they do in war movies.
I really believe there are things nobody would see if I didn't photograph them.
...I would never choose a subject for what it means to me. I choose a subject and then what I feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold.
For me, the subject of the picture is always more important than the picture.
Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them. I don't quite mean they're my best friends but they made me feel a mixture of shame and awe.
