Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.

I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

People are just dumb. They misunderstand.

It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.

For me anyway when a photograph is interesting, it's interesting because of the kind of photographic problem it states - which has to do with the contest between content and form.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

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.
