Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.

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

Art is really whispering, not shouting.

I believe in the invisible. I do not believe in the definitive reality of things around us. For me, reality is the intuition and the imagination and the quiet voice inside my head that says: isn't that extraordinary? The things in our lives are the shadows of reality, just as we ourselves are shadows.

I already know what things look like - I don't want description. People believe in appearances, and I don't believe in appearances at all.

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.
