What I know bores me.

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.

You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.

There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.

Let's put it this way - I photograph what interests me all the time. I live with the pictures to see what that thing looks like photographed. I'm saying the same thing; I'm not changing it.

Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.
