Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself.

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.

It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.

The camera is a fluid way of encountering that other reality

The simple act of having a camera, not a cell phone, but a camera-camera, there’s a kind of a heightened perceptional awareness that occurs. Like, I could walk from here to the highway in two minutes, but if I had a camera, that walk could take me two hours.

I have gradually confused photography with life.
