Unfortunately, there was no Jackson Pollock of the camera.

Above all, the photographs I use are not arty in any sense of the word. I think photography is dead as fine art; its only place is in the commercial world, for technical or information purposes.

I'm interested in glorifying something that we in the world would say doesn't deserve being glorified. Something that's forgotten, focused on as though it were some sort of sacred object.

I'm very stodgy. I'm always looking at old photos of California and Los Angeles, knowing that what I'm looking at is now full of houses. There used to be vacant lots in Los Angeles, now all taken up by three-storey boxes - it's all getting infilled.

I don't do social media of any kind. If I did, I may as well join Scientology.

People refuse to believe that I've never been to Starbucks or Disneyland.

I wasn't captivated by the romance of Paris or London. I love visiting, but I'd rather be in L.A.
