I avoid Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and if I need to communicate with someone, I email direct.

You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

I never think of photographs as being individual. Always as a group.

I think the ordinary is a very under-exploited aspect of our lives because it is so familiar.

I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

To ask people's permission to take their pictures? Sometimes it feels right to ask, but I will not ask, unless it is essential to do so. If you asked all the time, you would miss everything. With the exception of portraits, it is generally bad news if people are looking at the camera.

My black-and-white work is more of a celebration and the color work became more of a critique of society.
