Every time I talked about making a picture I didn't do it. I had already done it - talking about it! I quit talking.

I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.

Opinions are like assholes, everbody's got one.

The photographs that excite me are photographs that say something in a new manner; not for the sake of being different but ones that are different because the individual is different and the individual expresses himself.

It's the subject matter that counts. I'm interested in revealing the subject in a new way to intensify it. A photo is able to capture a moment that people can't always see.

I photograph continuously, often without a good idea or strong feelings. During this time the photos are nearly all poor, but I believe they develop my seeing and help later on in other photos. I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.

In terms of art, the only real answer that I know of is to do it. If you don't do it, you don't know what might happen.
