I'm not against digital photography. It's great for newspapers. And there are photographers doing great work digitally. When they use Photoshop as a darkroom tool, that's fine, too. But at this point of my life, after so many years, I don't really want to change, and I still love film.

The obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.

I just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.

One of my all-time favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I wish I could have watched him work.

I wanted to travel from the beginning. As a kid, I used to dream about airplanes, before I ever flew in one.

If you are interested in photography because you love it and are obsessed with it, you must be self-motivated, a perfectionist, and relentless.

A great photograph needs no explanation; it functions by suggestion. There is no need to be explicit.
