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.

Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.

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

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

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.

You know, you get into the business of commercial photography, and that's all you do is photograph what you know. That's what you're hired for.

The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.
