I think that there isn't a photograph in the world that has any narrative ability... They do not tell stories - they show you what something looks like. To a camera.

I think there's some stuff that's at least photographically interesting. There are things I back off from trying to talk about.

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.

You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

Great photography is always on the edge of failure.
