If you are out there shooting, things will happen for you. If you're not out there, you'll only hear about it.

I don't see light as something that falls, but as a positive force.

Sometimes as you work, you find that you are learning things about your own perceptions and motivations that are way below you consciousness. If you get lucky, you recognize what you are doing, but all too often we don't find the connection between our work and our own motivations.

You find that you have to do many things, more than just lift up the camera and shoot, and so you get involved in it in a very physical way. You may find that the picture you want to do can only be made from a certain place, and you're not there, so you have to physically go there. And that participation may spur you on to work harder on the thing, . . . because in the physical change of position you start seeing a whole different relationship.

It's my obligation to take out all the 'wrong' pictures.

If the light is great in front of you, you should turn around and see what it is doing behind you.

If you're not your own severest critic, you are your own worst enemy.
