I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.

I still don't understand why when you put a piece of paper in a tray with solution in it, it comes up. It's still, in a sense, magic to me. It's a funny thing, you know. I've got two kids, and when they were very young, they used to come in the darkroom and I thought they'd be astounded by that. Nothing. When they got a little older, then they got astounded by it.

In the simplest sentence, I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed. Basically, that's why I photograph, in the simplest language. That's the beginning of it and then we get to play the games.

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.

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.

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.

A photograph can look any way.
