If you choose your subject selectively - intuitively - the camera can write poetry.

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.

I guess I've shot about 40,000 negatives and of these I have about 800 pictures I like.

I just don't know what makes a picture, really - the thing that makes it is something unique, as far as I can understand. Just like one guy can write a sentence and it's beautiful and another one can write it and it's dead. What the difference is, I don't know.

I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.

Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

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.
