They often ask me to shoot for them. But I say no. I think an old guy like me ought not take pages away from young photographers who need the exposure.

In my vocabulary there are two bad words: art and good taste.

It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room.

I spend a lot of time preparing. I think a lot about what I want to do. I have prep books, little notebooks in which I write everything down before a sitting. Otherwise I would forget my ideas.

Some people's photography is an art. Not mine. Art is a dirty word in photography. All this fine art crap is killing it already.

The photographs don't arouse me. All I can think about is the hard work it took to make them.

There are two dirty words in photography, one is art, the other is good taste
