It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.

You've got a number of things that take place that are peculiar to still photography. One: how a picture looks - what you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks. In other words, it's responsible for the form.

I don't really have any faith in anybody enjoying photographs in a large enough sense to matter. I think it's all about finances, on one side.

I felt that from my end, I should deal with the thing itself, which is the event. I pretty much functioned like the media itself.

If you take a good look at the book [ Stock Photographs], it's largely a portrait gallery of faces - faces that I found dramatic. And some of those turned out to be reasonably dramatic photographs. But that's all it is, I think.

Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.

I generally deal with something happening.
