Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.

The only thing that happens when I'm teaching is that I hope there are some students out there in the class who will ask questions.

You know, you get into the business of commercial photography, and that's all you do is photograph what you know. That's what you're hired for.

You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

Language is basic to all of our existences in this world. We depend on it.

A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we're not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.
