I know the families that I photograph extremely well and have known them for a very long time.

The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

The kids really enjoy what they do. I check with them constantly to make sure that they're really happy to be there.

Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.

I'm the last person who has any desire to instruct anybody in shame. That's no errand for me.

I use an 8 x 10 view camera. All other cameras are just toys.
