Well, I'm not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like "street photographer" are so stupid. I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.

If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

I pretty much know what I'm doing.

For me anyway when a photograph is interesting, it's interesting because of the kind of photographic problem it states - which has to do with the contest between content and form.

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.

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

People are just dumb. They misunderstand.
