Digital held no romance for me at all. I hated it. I miss my big cameras. The working process, I miss it.

To me, style is like your fingerprint. Nobody else has it.

People aren't hiring just a picture, they're hiring someone they can work with. That plays a big role .

The work is primarily subject-driven. All decisions flow from there. The photographs are all made in response to a unique subject, in particular context, at a specific moment in time. The thoughtful preparedness that defines my working method actually facilitates spontaneity and allows me to embrace surprise. I always have a game plan but view it as merely the jumping off point.

My brother used to say some people have an "inferiority simplex." It's not that they're under the delusion that they're inferior; they actually are inferior and they secretly know it.

I wanted to grow in terms of making pictures, not adapting to new software and technology. But that's the game now.

I never do pictures that I've done before - but I really try not to. Whenever I get an assignment I try to think how to shoot this person for this story in this magazine at this point in time.
