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

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.

There've been times it's been just impossible to find a negative or whatever. But I'm basically just a one man operation, and so things get messed up. I don't have a filing system that's worth very much.

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.

In the simplest sentence, I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed. Basically, that's why I photograph, in the simplest language. That's the beginning of it and then we get to play the games.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

At times I'd much rather talk about other work.
