Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.

Taking photos is a form of collecting.

Color was the palette of commercial photography and snapshot photography.

I am a big fan of Jim Jarmusch and I do love big screen documentaries.

I go straight in very close to people and I do that because it's the only way you can get the picture. You go right up to them. Even now, I don't find it easy. I don't announce it. I pretend to be focusing elsewhere. If you take someone's photograph it is very difficult not to look at them just after. But it's the one thing that gives the game away. I don't try and hide what I'm doing - that would be folly.

I get up early and open my emails, write cheques and answer the phone; whatever needs to be done.

I am kept awake by the list of possibilities for shooting more photos and deciding what I must prioritise next.
