I have a good friend who's a very good printer. And he does a certain amount of printing for me. I do all the developing. If somebody's going to goof my film, I'd better do it. I don't want to get that mad at anybody else.

There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.

Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.

I sometimes think I'm a mechanic. I just take pictures.

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

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.
