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

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.

The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

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.

I'm talking about technical goofs. I'm pretty much on top of it. The kind of picture you're referring to would have to be more about the effects of technical things, technical phenomena, and I'm just not interested in that kind of work at all.

Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.

I've goofed, and there's been something interesting, but I haven't made use of it. It just doesn't interest me.
