It's in trying to direct the traffic between Artiface [sic] and Candor, without being run over, that I'm confronted with the questions about photography that matter most to me.

My parents put the New Yorker in my crib. I saw Vogue and Vanity Fair around the house before I could read.

Photography has always reminded me of the second child.. trying to prove itself. The fact that it wasn't really considered an art.. that it was considered a craft.. has trapped almost every serious photographer.

I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.

I believe that you've got to love your work so much that it is all you want to do.

If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn't it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?

I think all art is about control, the encounter between control and uncontrollable.
