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.

I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs. I can admire photography, but I wouldn't go to it out of hunger.

I always thought we were selling dreams, not clothes

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.
