Nobody exists in a vacuum.

There are photographers whose shows I try to make it my business to see, if I'm in the city. There are photographers I have no interest in at all.

I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.

The only thing that's difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?

I don't have anything to say in any picture. But you do, from your experience, surmise something. You do give a photograph symbolic content, narrative content... But it's nothing to worry about!

I'm a New Yorker. Matter of fact, the more I'm in places like Texas and California, the more I know I'm a New Yorker. I have no confusions. About that.

Now and then I'll get a student who asks a question that puts me up against the wall and maybe by the end of the semester I can begin to deal with the question.
