I try to begin working with no preconceived ideas.
It is the illusion of knowledge, not ignorance, that keeps one from growing.
It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.
Editions made sense when people worked with engravings where the plate wore down as prints were made. An early number of the edition had slightly better quality. But that's not the case with photography. To me, it's a false way of creating value.
The camera basically is a license to explore.
The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.
