Anything that looks like an idea is probably just something that has accumulated, like dust. It looks like I have ideas because I do books that are all on the same subject. That is just because the pictures have piled up on that subject. Finally I realize that I am really interested in it. The pictures make me realize that I am interested in something.

The camera is not merely a reflecting pool and the photographs are not exactly the mirror, mirror on the wall that speaks with a twisted tongue.

I take more to the subject than to my ideas about it. I am not interested in any idea I have had, the subject is so demanding and so important.

Sometimes just the facts of the matter make it interesting.

I retired from everything except work.

The West to me is where the landscape is.
