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

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.

Photography is pretty simple stuff. You just react to what you see, and take many, many pictures.

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.

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

A picture should be looked at - not talked about.

Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.
