There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.

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

Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.

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.

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

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

I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.
