My only interest in photographing is photography.

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.

If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.

I never saw a pyramid, but I've seen photographs; I know what a pyramid or a sphinx looks like. There are pictures that do that, but they satisfy a different kind of interest.

I don't know if I'm really the fastest. It doesn't matter.

Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.

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