I think there is an element of magic in photography - light, chemistry, precious metals - a certain alchemy. You can wield a camera like a magic wand almost. Murmur the right words and you can conjure up proof of a dream. I believe in wonder. I look for it in my life every day; I find it in the most ordinary things.

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

You are lucky if you have one or two epiphanies in your life, particularly a creative one.

The raw materials of photography are light and time and memory.

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

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