You always end up with too many pictures to edit and too few that you feel 'got it'.

Sometimes without shooting a picture germinates in your head. Other times, you keep taking pictures of the same thing and watch the images mature and grow.

A photographer's art is more in his perceptions than his execution. In a painter, I think the perception is only the first step, and then you have a kind of hard road of execution.

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.

Pain is not a conduit to art or joy

As people, we love pattern. But interrupted pattern is more interesting.

It's always around. You just don't see it.
