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.

If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.

I don't have anything to say in any picture. But you do, from your experience, surmise something. You do give a photograph symbolic content, narrative content... But it's nothing to worry about!

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

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

You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

I enjoyed it [commercial work] until I stopped. You could travel and get around. I can't really explain why, I just didn't want to do it anymore.
