Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.

The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.

I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph.

Most portraits are lies. People are rarely what they appear to be, especially in front of a camera. You might know me your entire lifetime and never reveal yourself to me. To interpret wrinkles as character is insult not insight.

I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.

Taking photographs and writing is my way of saying I was here, I saw this, I felt this, I heard this.
