I generally deal with something happening.

I was a hired gun, more or less.

I like to think of photographing as a two-way act of respect. Respect for the medium, by letting it do what it does best, describe. And respect for the subject, by describing it as it is. A photograph must be responsible to both.

I look at a photograph. What's going on? What's happening, photographically? If it's interesting, I try to understand why.

I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.

I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.
