We're responsible for everything that's included in the frame. We're also responsible for what's not included in the frame. We're responsible for the way we frame the world.

Very often there is too little information in photographs to deduce how they were made and even what they represent. We rely on context and supplemental information to confirm our observations, not simply the documents themselves.

Images are altered in many ways, to many degrees, and for many reasons, so it's important for viewers to be informed of both.

Many oriental cultures make a distinction between two ways of looking - 'hard eyes' and 'soft eyes'. When we look with hard eyes, we see specific details with sharp focus, but we don't see the relationships between different details as well. When we look with soft eyes we see the relationships between everything in our field of vision, but with this softer focus, we don't see all the details as clearly. It's possible to look in two ways at once.

Different people can photograph the same things with the same tools and create such different images.

A photograph is an invitation to look - and to look at looking.

We are the strongest filter we can place before the lens. We point the lens both outward and inward.
