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

It's got to do with the contention between content and form. Invariably that's what's responsible for its energies, its tensions, its being interesting or not.

Well, in terms of what a camera does. Again, you go back to that original idea that what you photograph is responsible for how it [the photograph] looks. And it's not plastic, in a way. The problem is unique in photographic terms.

If I saw something in my viewfinder that looked familiar to me, I would do something to shake it up.

What I know bores me.

I never saw a pyramid, but I've seen photographs; I know what a pyramid or a sphinx looks like. There are pictures that do that, but they satisfy a different kind of interest.

The camera's dumb, it don't [sic] care who's pushing the button. It doesn't know.
