Lesson number one: Pay attention to the intrusion of the camera.

What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.

Themes recur again and again in my work.

A studio session ... provides the greatest chance for control. Even though there is total freedom, I still dislike studio photography and the contrived images that usually stem from this genre.

You should never reveal your true age.

What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing... if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.

What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion.
