Everybody's entitled to their own experience.

I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.

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

All things are photographable.

When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.

I'm pretty fast with a camera when I have to be. However, I think it's irrelevant.

You know, I really don't think you learn from teachers. You learn from work. I think what you learn, really, is how to be- you have to be your own toughest critic, and you only learn that from work, from seeing work.
