Great photography is always on the edge of failure.

I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.

When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.

If you ever watch children play - what do you observe when you watch children play? You know, they're dead serious. They're not on vacation.

Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.

I pretty much know what I'm doing.

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.
