I like things that have to do with what is real, elegant, well presented and without excessive style. In other words, just fine observation.

It's just seeing - at least the photography I care about. You either see or you don't see. The rest is academic. Anyone can learn how to develop. It's how you organize what you see into a picture.

You must have a visual sense if you want to be a photographer. It is a very subtle thing, this visual business.

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.

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.

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.

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.
