The thing itself photographed becomes less interesting when you go back to it years later but I think the photograph becomes more important later when the reality has passed.

Photography teaches us to see, and we can see whatever we wish. When I take a photograph, I make a wish. I was always looking for beauty.

I try to take my interests and make them my work.

It's never as good the second time. Things don't get better. You can't always go back, a lot of it has been erased. The photograph is a record of it having existed.

I don't speak emotionally about my pictures. That's for other people to do. I will say that I love my photographs. That's what keeps me going.

As I progressed further with my project, it became obvious that it was really unimportant where I chose to photograph. The particular place simply provided an excuse to produce work... you can only see what you are ready to see - what mirrors your mind at that particular time.
