I've tried a few times to depart from what I know I can do, and I've failed. I've tried to work outside the studio, but it introduces too many variables that I can't control. I'm really quite narrow, you know.

The printed page seems to have come to something of a dead end for all of us.

Photographing a cake can be art.

Over the years I must have spent thousands of hours silently brushing on the liquid coatings, preparing each sheet in anticipation of reaching the perfect print.

Sometime in 1964 I realized that I was a victim of a printmaking obsession, a condition that persists today.

I am a professional photographer because it is the best way I know to earn the money I require to take care of my wife and children.

I can get obsessed by anything if i look at it long enough. That's the curse of being a photographer.
