My concept was, within the five-minute video, for people to see one million Buddhas. So I made a group of the images and it keeps accelerating to reach this one million point. The movie was invented from the still photos.

All over the planet, nature is being transformed into 'un-nature' at breakneck speed...My life is part of natural history. I long to know where that history came from and where it is going.

Life is one passage and then you keep moving into another state.

Fossils work almost the same way as photography as a record of history. The accumulation of time and history becomes a negative of the image. And this negative comes off, and the fossil is the positive side. This is the same as the action of photography.

When I wake up I just make it happen. My dreams come true- that is the artistic practice.

If I already have a vision, my work is almost done. The rest is a technical problem.

However fake the subject, once photographed, it's as good as real.
