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

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 will always admit immediately to what’s obvious, which is that homo sapiens is inherently erotic or sensual from birth.

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

The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very very collaborative.

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.

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