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

There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.

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.

You have a lifetime to learn technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

The world isn't tidy; it's a mess. I don't try to make it neat.

Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.

I said the photograph isn't what was photographed, it's something else. It's about transformation. And that's what it is.
