But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.

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.

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

But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.

It's no small irony that the government inevitably and invariably ends up promoting precisely that which they would most like to repress.

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

My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.
