The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.

When I started doing my work years ago, I had doubts as to whether the informed consent question was answerable.

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.

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.

I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.

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

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.
