I used to do horseback riding in the South, and it was just things I'd be pasting. I think my diaries was just an infantile desire to record things. I liked saving things instead of writing.
Peter BeardI like things that don't look like you're in control. It's like life itself. You just learn how to benefit from accidents and chances that you take.
Peter BeardI think the camera is a wonderful machine, don't you? And not to take photographs in this century is crazy.
Peter BeardPhotography should be redefined. It's largely technical... Photography is just unbelievably limiting. I always think of David Bailey and all the fashion photographers - they overlap, you can't always tell who did it. I don't really even like photography all that much. I just think it's so overdone.
Peter BeardBeing so pathetic, I don't read. I just ... do things - writing out interviews you can't read, on pictures of footprints and things like that. I kind of like the idea of nailing the thing down and not really showing too much about it. There's just so much you can take for collage nowadays.
