There are things I photograph because I'm interested in those things.

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.

Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.

It was interesting; it's an interesting photographic problem [those demonstrations in the late Sixties]. But if I was doing it as a job, I think I'd have to get paid extra.

There is no special way a photograph should look.

Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
