The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.

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

The game, let's say, of trying to state photographic problems is, for me, absolutely fascinating.

I'm shocked that I can live pretty well, or reasonably, or make a certain amount of my living, anyway, off of prints. I guess it's nuts. I don't believe in it. I never anticipated it; I still don't believe it.

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.

You know, I really don't think you learn from teachers. You learn from work. I think what you learn, really, is how to be- you have to be your own toughest critic, and you only learn that from work, from seeing work.

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