What I really try to do is photograph people at rest, in a state of serenity.

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.

Many photographers feel their client is the subject. My client is a woman in Kansas who reads Vogue. I'm trying to intrigue, stimulate, feed her. My responsibility is to the reader. The severe portrait that is not the greatest joy in the world to the subject may be enormously interesting to the reader.

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

I always thought we were selling dreams, not clothes

Using simple equipment and daylight alone is for me a pleasure and a replenishment.
