The photograph should be more interesting or more beautiful than what was photographed

It's very easy to make successful photographs - it's very easy.

I've goofed, and there's been something interesting, but I haven't made use of it. It just doesn't interest me.

Now and then I'll get a student who asks a question that puts me up against the wall and maybe by the end of the semester I can begin to deal with the question.

As far as my end of it, photographing, goes, all I'm interested in is pictures, frankly. I went to events, and it would have been very easy to just illustrate that idea about the relationships between the press and the event, you know.

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

I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.
