I'm fond of implied narratives, oblique angles, and leaving a little room for the viewer to finish a picture.

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

Poetry at least in my own life, is really about your own mortality. Everything in poetry makes me think of my mortality. It is not a dark thing in life; it prepares you for the graceful things that happen in your life. It gives me a license to make any kind of picture I want with great courage.

I don't think science is necessarily incompatible with mystical or spiritual sensibilities. I often weigh them equally in my thinking, which sometimes finds itself into the work.

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

The full weight and mystery of your art rests upon your relationship to your subject matter.

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.
