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

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

I never photograph sunsets and I never photograph moonrises. I'm not interested in what things look like.

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

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.

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