Most of my friends are women. I think women are more interesting to talk to.

Probably one of the worst things that happened to photography is that cameras have viewfinders.

I was always interested in language. I thought, why not? If a painting, by the normal definition of the term, is paint on canvas, why can't it be painted words on canvas?

Find the most puzzling kind of art you can think of, and then go out and try to approximate it with your camera. Take a photograph that corresponds to it. (Assignment to students.)

I didn't see painters doing paintings of glassware and glass shelves or sand dunes and receding snow fences. Why does that interest photographers and not artists?

Ideally I would like the work to be a hybrid between painting and photography.

There's no such thing as a bad photograph.
