I could never figure out why photography and art had separate histories. So I decided to explore both.

I go back and forth between wanting to be abundantly simple and maddeningly complex.

Artists are better at finding a way to kill their time.

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?

I was getting tired of hearing the complaint, "My kid could do this," and "We don't get it. What's modern art? Blah, blah, blah." And I wondered what would really happen if you gave people what they wanted, something they always look at.

It's human desire to be understood. And we always feel we're not understood.

I think I live such a boring life. But I can't imagine any other kind of life, so I guess it's the life I want.
