The contemporary artist...is not bound to a fully conceived, previsioned end. His mind is kept alert to in-process discovery and a working rapport is established between the artist and his creation. While it may be true, as Nathan Lyons stated, 'The eye and the camera see more than the mind knows,' is it not also conceivable that the mind knows more than the eye and the camera can see?

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 and life and as a result of this I believe I am able to work out of myself at an almost precognitive level.

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

The truth is that one is more frequently blessed with ideas while working.

The camera basically is a license to explore.

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