... photographs are so loaded with information. They're remarkable. As I said, you get both the tree and the forest.

Sometimes just the facts of the matter make it interesting.

I suspect it is for one's self-interest that one looks at one's surroundings and one's self. This search is personally born and is indeed my reason and motive for making photographs.

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 always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials, but I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.

The world makes up my pictures, not me.

With a camera like that you don't believe you're in the masterpiece business. It's enough to be able to peck at the world.
