Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.

Photography is the simplest thing in the world, but it is incredibly complicated to make it really work.

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

You can't learn passion, either you've got it or you haven't.

Most of the pictures we consume are propaganda.

I looked around at what my colleagues were doing, and asked myself, 'What relationship has it with what's going on?' I found there was a great distortion of contemporary life. Photographers were interested only in certain things. A visually interesting place, people who were either very rich or very poor, and nostalgia.

Unless it hurts, unless there’s some vulnerability there, I don’t think you’re going to get good photographs.
