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.

Nothing wrong with people getting shot, as long as it's the right people getting shot.

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.

I love art because it doesn't have rules like baseball. The only rule is to be good. That's the toughest thing to do.

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

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