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

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

That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion.

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

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

I am fascinated by the human body and all its evolutions.

That's my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.
