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

I really try to divorce myself from any thought of possible use of this stuff. That's part of the discipline. My only purpose while I'm working is to try to make interesting photographs, and what to do with them is another act - an alter consideration. Certainly while I'm working, I want them to be as useless as possible.

I pretty much know what I'm doing.

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.

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.

I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.

I've goofed, and there's been something interesting, but I haven't made use of it. It just doesn't interest me.
