I'm a New Yorker. Matter of fact, the more I'm in places like Texas and California, the more I know I'm a New Yorker. I have no confusions. About that.

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

I have a burning desire to see what things look like photographed by me.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera 'saw' a piece of time and space.

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

Just think how minimal somebody's family album is. But you start looking at one of them, and the word everybody will use is "charming." Something just happened. It's automatic, just operating a camera intelligently.

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