If I photograph you I don't have you, I have a photograph of you. It's got its own thing. That's really what photography, still photography, is about.

I'm a New Yorker. Matter of fact, the more I'm in places like Texas and California, the more I know I'm a New Yorker. I have no confusions. About that.

A photograph can look any way.

I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.

Let's say that what's out there is a narrative. Often enough, the picture plays with the question of what actually is happening. Almost the way puns function.

I don't know how to say easily what I learned. One thing I can say I learned is how amazing photography could be.
