The only thing that happens when I'm teaching is that I hope there are some students out there in the class who will ask questions.

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

It's got to do with the contention between content and form. Invariably that's what's responsible for its energies, its tensions, its being interesting or not.

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

You've got a lot going for you, you see. By just describing well with it, something happens.

I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.

I look at a photograph. What's going on? What's happening, photographically? If it's interesting, I try to understand why.
