I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.

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

They were without clothes before I got there, and they were without clothes when I left.

If somebody's pointing a trembling finger at your pants and saying you shouldn't be doing that, follow that finger back, go up the arm and look at the head that's behind it, because there's almost always something fairly woolly in there.

In fact, I don’t believe I’m guilty of any crimes, but I’ve always been drawn to and fascinated by physical, sexual, and psychological change, and there’s an erotic aspect to that.

Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.

I've had to relearn how I work with people so that if and when I do avoid different things I don't send any messages in doing so.
