One of the marvelous things about film is that if you expose it long enough you're going to get a picture.

Photographers tend not to photograph what they can’t see, which is the very reason one should try to attempt it. Otherwise we’re going to go on forever just photographing more faces and more rooms and more places. Photography has to transcend description. It has to go beyond description to bring insight into the subject, or reveal the subject, not as it looks, but how does it feel?

I'm very hard on the art world just being a big business.

I often try to photograph things about a person that are not visible.

Most photographs, to me, are description, but they lack insight.

The question of truth is forever in the air, and people look for it with particular fervor in art.

If I was concerned about being accepted, I would have been doing Ansel Adams lookalikes, because that was easily accepted. Everything I did was never accepted...but luckily for me, my interest in the subject and my passion for the subject took me to the point that I wasn't wounded by that, and eventually, people came around to me.
