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

You have to devote yourself totally to be successful at it.

Dogs don't mind being photographed in compromising situations.

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

Most photographers work best alone, myself included.

I like to think I keep my mind open. When I walk the streets I don't look for anything in particular. I come from a philosophy that believes you shouldn't have preconceived notions - that you don't need a gimmick. That you should just photograph what you react to - what you see.

After following the crowd for a while, I'd then go 180 degrees in the exact opposite direction. It always worked for me.
