You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.

Every photograph could be set up. If one could imagine it, one could set it up. The whole discussion is a way of not talking about photographs.

My only interest in photographing is photography.

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.

Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.

I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.
