I generally deal with something happening.

There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described.

I'm shocked that I can live pretty well, or reasonably, or make a certain amount of my living, anyway, off of prints. I guess it's nuts. I don't believe in it. I never anticipated it; I still don't believe it.

I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.

Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.

The contest between form and content is what, is what art is about - it's art history. That's what basically everybody has ever contended with. The problem is uniquely complex in still photography.

You know, you get into the business of commercial photography, and that's all you do is photograph what you know. That's what you're hired for.
