I'm an amateur photographer, apart from being a professional one, and I think maybe my amateur pictures are the better ones.

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.

Photography is simply a function of noticing things.

All of my marriages lasted seven years.

There's no great mystique to photography. A lot of photographers like to put their hands up to their forehead and tell you how they've suffered and so forth. Well, I just rent a car and drive to the place and take the pictures.

If you're not a curious person, you're certainly not going to be a good photographer.

Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times...I just shoot at what interests me at that moment.
