I don't have anything to say in any picture. My only interest in photography is to see what something looks like as a photograph. I have no preconceptions.

There've been times it's been just impossible to find a negative or whatever. But I'm basically just a one man operation, and so things get messed up. I don't have a filing system that's worth very much.

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.

You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else--and whichever is better you print.

At times I'd much rather talk about other work.

I get totally out of myself. It's the closest I come to not existing, I think, which is the best - which is to me attractive.

There are things I back off from trying to talk about, you know. Particularly my own work. Also, there may be things better left unsaid. At times I'd much rather talk about other (people's) work.
