Photos have no narrative content. They only describe light on surface.

Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

A photograph can look any way.

Two people could look at the same flowers and feel differently about them. Why not? I'm not making ads. I couldn't care less.

If I ever hear "Power to the people" again, I'llà I just found out that John Lennon wrote that song, "All we are saying is give peace a chance." I couldn't believe it. I thought it was terrible; I hated that song. They used to bring out the Pete Seeger wind-up toy to sing it. Tiresome.

Nobody exists in a vacuum.

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.
