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 see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn't look like that guy in the pictures.

The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion.

Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.

And if a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it's as though I've neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible.

Snapshots that have been taken of me working show something I was not aware of at all, that over and over again I'm holding my own body or my own hands exactly like the person I'm photographing. I never knew I did that, and obviously what I'm doing is trying to feel, actually physically feel, the way he or she feels at the moment I'm photographing them in order to deepen the sense of connection.

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