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.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

I don't know how to say easily what I learned. One thing I can say I learned is how amazing photography could be.

Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.

You've got a lot going for you, you see. By just describing well with it, something happens.

My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.

I don't care how they think of it. Some of these people are acquiring some very good pictures by a lot of different photographers.
