Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.

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.

A visual sense is something you either have or you don't.

I don't like explosions. I don't mind progress. But digital photography has made every man, woman, child and chimpanzee a photographer of sorts and consequently has numbed down the general quality of photographs.

I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun.

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.

My 'work' is about seeing not about ideas.
