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

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.

All I'm doing is photographing. When I was working on The Animals, I was working on a lot of other things too. I kept going to the zoo because things were going on in certain pictures. It wasn't a project.

I said the photograph isn't what was photographed, it's something else. It's about transformation. And that's what it is.

Every photograph is a battle of form versus content.

I'm a good craftsman and I can have this particular intention: let's say, I want a photograph that's going to push a certain button in an audience, to make them laugh or love, feel warm or hate or what - I know how to do this.

Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.
