Sharpness is overrated.

I love the history of photography and one process has always replaced another. However, very, very few have disappeared.

When I started using the extreme short depth of field and single point of focus, I was trying to replicate my changing eyesight. We have binocular vision; one eye perceives space from the other. I don't experience a scene visually at F32. It's more like F1.4.

I want to be made better personally. That is the gig.

I like what Wallace Stevens said: "Poetry must almost successfully resist intelligence." I just change the word "poetry" to "my photographs".

I don't know if I can articulate how I feel. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would make it here.

At a fundamental level photography is much like pointing, and all of us occasionally point at things: look at that, look at that sailboat, look at that tree, etc. etc.
