The museums want large crowds coming to the shows - it's the same thing. It's hype. Absolutely. But there's nothing evil about it.

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.

The only thing that happens when I'm teaching is that I hope there are some students out there in the class who will ask questions.

There's an arbitrary idea that the horizontal edge in a frame has to be the point of reference.

I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.

I develop my own film. And I work in spurts. I pile it up.

Photography is not about the thing photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.
