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

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

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

There are people who are socially ambitious. If you go back aways, the Sculls, for instance, had a lot of money and they were socially ambitious. If you get an old master, it's not going to do you any good socially.

Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.

I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.

I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.
