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.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.

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 enjoyed it [commercial work] until I stopped. You could travel and get around. I can't really explain why, I just didn't want to do it anymore.

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.
