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.

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

My only interest in photographing is photography.

At times people in the press were also useful to me.

When I see something, I know why something's funny or seems to be funny. But in the end it's just another picture as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know. I don't go around looking at my pictures. I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures. When the time comes, for whatever reason, I get involved in editing and getting some prints made and stuff. There are things that interest me. But I don't really mull over them a lot.

I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.
