There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.

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

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

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

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

My intention is to make interesting photographs. That's it, in the end. I don't make it up. Let's say it's a world I never made. That's what was there to deal with.

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