I don't have anything to say in any picture.

You don't solve anything ever, really. You simply state a problem which, when you're lucky, gives you some idea of what possible problems you can - it indicates, you know, your future headaches.

There was a camera club at Columbia, where I was taking a painting course. And when I went down, somebody showed me how to use the stuff. That's all. I haven't done anything else since then, It was as simple as that. I fell into the business.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

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

It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
