I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.

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

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

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 don't think anything happens without the press, one way or the other. I think it's all done for it. You saw it start, really, with Martin Luther King in Birmingham. He did the bus thing. And I don't think anything that followed would have happened if the press hadn't paid attention.

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

I generally deal with something happening.
