The challenge of photography is to show the thing photographed so that our feelings are awakened and hidden aspects are revealed to us

We tremble at the feelings we experience as our sense of wholeness is reorganized by what we see.

I want my photographs to say: "Look-there's this thing you haven't seen that you should see."

You’re always working at the margin of what you don’t understand, that’s the only exhilarating place to be. To just illustrate what you already know is condescending, and a waste of your time.

Of course, this is one of the really important things about art, that you can make more than you can understand at the moment the thing is being made. But the gap between what we recognize inside ourselves - our feelings- and our ability to trust ourselves and to trust exposing ourselves to those ideas, can be great.

I feel that whatever picture an artist makes it is in part a picture of himself - a matter of identity.

The authentic thing is to follow your heart, your instincts, your emotions. If you located yourself in an idea, your life would be lived very sadly.
