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.

With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing.

I was a Catholic boy, I went to church every Sunday. A church has a certain magic and mystery for a child. It still shows in how I arrange things. It's always little altars.

I think that it was a great advantage to go into photography not knowing much about it. Not thinking. I think one of the problems with many photographers today is that they never see for themselves, but just like everybody else.

I just try to live my life and do my thing.

One must ease the public into it - that's an art in itself.

I stand naked when I draw. God holds my hand and we sing together.
