But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.
It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.
I became good at defending myself, but as far as I was concerned, that was a transient skill.
I know the families that I photograph extremely well and have known them for a very long time.
Virtually always I get my best pictures when everybody thinks the shoot's done.
Some of the people that I photographed as sticks became much more voluptuous, much rounder, in some cases dramatically so, and I think they're even more beautiful.
