Most photographs are of life, what goes on in the world. And that's boring, generally. Life is banal, you know. Let's say that an artist deals with banality. I don't care what the discipline is.

I never saw a pyramid, but I've seen photographs; I know what a pyramid or a sphinx looks like. There are pictures that do that, but they satisfy a different kind of interest.

I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.

I'm a photographer, a still photographer. That's it.

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.

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

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