Criticism is hypocrisy; society is hypocrisy. I'm a tourist. I'm a consumer. I do the things that I photograph and can be criticized of.

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.

For those aspiring to make a living from travel photography, it's a sad fact that the boring shots are the shots that are going to make you money.

From the moment the tourist enters the site, everyone has to be photographed in front of every feature of note.... The photographic record of the visit has almost destroyed the very notion of actually looking.

Photographs are interpretations of reality; as such, it is entirely subjective. Most photos are taken with an agenda, to sell something or to make a subject look better than it really is. Think of family snapshots - everyone is smiling and happy.

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