I used to hate doing color. I hated transparency film. The way I did color was by not wanting to know what kind of film was in my camera.

I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person.

In the photographs themselves there's a definite contrast between the figures and the location - I like that kind of California backyard look; clapboard houses, staircases outdoors.

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.

The desire to discover, the desire to move, to capture the flavor, three concepts that describe the art of photography.

The point of my photography has always been to challenge myself, to go a little further than my Germanic discipline and Teutonic nature would traditionally permit me to.

My women are always victorious.
