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

I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .

The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.

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.

There is no special way a photograph should look.
