What I'm good at is making art.

I'm an artist that's attracted to a specific way of seeing and a way of being.

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.

If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art.

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.

I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.

It's really, really hard to make it as a fine-art photographer exclusively.
