A portrait isn't a fact but an opinion - an occasion rather than a truth.

We all perform. It's what we do for each other all the time, deliberately or unintionally. It's a way of telling about ourselves in the hope of being recognized as what we'd like to be.--PERFORMANCE

If I could do what I want with my eyes alone, I would be happy.

The pictures have a reality for me that the people don't. It is through the photographs that I know them.
