Photographs bear witness to a human choice being exercised in a given situation. A photograph is a result of the photographer's decision that it is worth recording that this particular event or this particular object has been seen. If everything that existed were continually being photographed, every photograph would become meaningless.

A drawing is an autobiographical record of one's discovery of an event - either seen, remembered or imagined. A 'finished' work is an attempt to construct an event in itself.

What any true painting touches is an absence - an absence of which without the painting, we might be unaware. And that would be our loss.

All weddings are similar, but every marriage is different.

Compare the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.

Photography, because it stops the flow of life, is always flirting with death.

We who draw do so not only to make something observed visible to others, but also to accompany something invisible to its incalculable destination
