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

Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.

You know, I really don't think you learn from teachers. You learn from work. I think what you learn, really, is how to be- you have to be your own toughest critic, and you only learn that from work, from seeing work.

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.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

Cameras intrigued me.
