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

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.

What if I said that every photograph I made was set up? From the photograph, you can't prove otherwise. You don't know anything from the photograph about how it was made, really.

Two people could look at the same flowers and feel differently about them. Why not? I'm not making ads. I couldn't care less.

I generally deal with something happening.

I don't care how they think of it. Some of these people are acquiring some very good pictures by a lot of different photographers.

Sometimes photographers mistake emotion for what makes a great street photograph.
