If your subjects are eternal... they'll survive.

The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don't have to explain things with words.

I see no difference between my pictures that people consider amusing and the rest. To me, it's all serious work - they're just a reaction to what I see. I don't leave this apartment in the morning and say to myself 'Today I'm going to be funny and tomorrow I'm going to be sad.'

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

I don't think you can create luck. You're either lucky or you're not. I don't know if it's really luck or if it's just curiosity. I think the main ingredient, or a main ingredient for photography is curiosity. If you're curious enough and if you get up in the morning and go out and take pictures, you're likely to be more lucky than if you just stay at home.

I am serious about not being serious.

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