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

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

There are no photographs while I'm reloading .

The contest between form and content is what, is what art is about - it's art history. That's what basically everybody has ever contended with. The problem is uniquely complex in still photography.

There's no way a photograph has to look... in a sense. There are no formal rules of design that can apply.

It's got to do with the contention between content and form. Invariably that's what's responsible for its energies, its tensions, its being interesting or not.

You know, you get into the business of commercial photography, and that's all you do is photograph what you know. That's what you're hired for.
