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.

Frame in terms of what you want to have in the picture, not about making a nice picture, that anybody can do.

What you photograph is responsible for how a photograph looks - the form, the design, whatever word you want to use.

Every photograph could be set up. If one could imagine it, one could set it up. The whole discussion is a way of not talking about photographs.

I think there's some stuff that's at least photographically interesting. There are things I back off from trying to talk about.

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.

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.
