I don't want a picture to look like something it isn't. I want it to look like something it is.

I am sick of talking about What and Why I am doing. I have always believed that the WORK is the word. Action is seen less clearly through reason. There are no shortcuts to directness.

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

There is no reason not to consider the world as one gigantic painting.

I always have a good reason for taking something out but I never have one for putting something in. And I don't want to, because that means that the picture is being painted predigested.

I feel strong in my belief, based on my widely traveled collaborations, that a one-to-one contact through art contains potent peaceful powers, and is the most non-elitist way to share information, hopefully seducing us into creating mutual understandings for the benefit of all.

This is a portrait of Iris Clert if I say so.
