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

If you run into a monkey in some idiot context, automatically you've got a very real problem taking place in the photograph.

I have no idea what's going to happen. Who knows - if they can't afford to buy a boat, maybe they buy a print. Who knows what happens with their buck?

I generally deal with something happening.

Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

I knew that was coming. That's another stupidity. The people who use the term don't even know the meaning. They use it to refer to photographs they believe are loosely organized, or casually made, whatever you want to call it. Whatever terms you like. The fact is, when they're talking about snapshots they're talking about the family album picture, which is one of the most precisely made photographs.
