Photography is an art of observation - it's about creating something extraordinary out of the ordinary. You choose a frame and then wait until the right time for something magical to come along and fill it.

The work I care about is terribly simple. I observe. I try to entertain. But above all I want my pictures to be emotional. Little else interests me in photography.

Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.

When I get up in the morning I brush my teeth and go about my business, and if I am going anywhere interesting I take my camera along.

I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby.

I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my loved ones, young and old, and at least once a year we get together for a formal family photograph.
