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.

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.

There are photographs that I don’t take now, that I previously would have taken without any thought at all as to any misinterpretations.

I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body. Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that.

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

A virulent, aggressive minority has decided that Americans don’t know themselves what it is they should see, and need to be protected by people who are wiser than they are, even if they are only a tiny sliver of the population.

Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.
