We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.

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

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

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.

I became good at defending myself, but as far as I was concerned, that was a transient skill.

The images I like best are parts of series that I've started, in some cases, with the pregnancies of the mothers of the children in question, and I continue that series right on through the birth of children to the child that resulted from that first pregnancy.
