My 'work' is about seeing not about ideas.

If you keep your cool, you'll get everything.

Working myself into a position of total versatility, so that I can do anything I want to do at the time I want to do it. Whether I do it or not is another question.

Somehow Photoshop and the ease with which one can produce an image has degraded the quality of photography in general.

In those simpler days, you could just take pictures of movie stars and show them the way they were, as normal human beings. And if I felt part of any movement at the time, it was just to do that - to be journalistic and photograph what is, rather than what is made up.

Now very often events are set up for photographers... The weddings are orchestrated about the photographers taking the picture, because if it hasn't been photographed it doesn't really exist.

I am a professional photographer by trade and an amateur photographer by vocation.
