Photography is the most direct communication in non-violent contacts.

By the time you establish your priorities, there really isn't any fun or need to interest yourself in what you're doing. And this I find disastrous.

Art is a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.

And also the new excitement and variety of ways that the abstract expressionists were applying paint. You could put it on as though it were colored air and it would be painting.

I prefer images that are less specific, so there is room for everyone's imagination.

There was something about the self-confession and self-confusion of Abstract expressionism - as though the man and the work were the same - that personally always put me off because at that time my focus was in the opposite direction.

If I declare it to be so, then this is a portrait.
