I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting.

I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.

My project could be only to photograph as I felt and desired, to regulate a pleasant form of living, to get up in the morning-free, to feel the trees, the grass, the water, sky or buildings, people-everything that affects us; and to photograph that which I saw and have always felt.

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.

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.
