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

As a professional photographer I take photographs for other people to see - but I want them to see what I see. So I never assume that only a few people will appreciate what I do. At all times, the public should be able to understand what I've done, even if they don't understand how I've done it.

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

If you keep your cool, you'll get everything.

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 really have a favorite camera. I use a Leica and Canon a lot. It depends, especially professionally, on the requirements. But my carry-around camera is a Leica.

I am serious about not being serious.
