Art is not fashionable. That's why fashion and art are two different things. Fashion can never be art because fashion deals with whim, what is temporary, what changes, what is transient, what is now and not now. Art has to deal with issues that are timeless, that never change.

My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient.

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.

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

Taking the photograph is the easiest part for me

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

I write in order to express what the photo itself cannot say. A photograph of my father doesn't tell me what I thought of him, which for me is much more important than what the man looked like.
