Life on the planet and in our galaxy is so complex, I don't hope to have any substantial effect in it, but if I can touch a few people deep in their psyche, by making my personal subjective journey concrete for others, then I am very happy.

It is my belief that the most challenging photographs are those that create a tension between what we refer to as the real and the imaginative.

Nothing is staged. And nothing is already there. Everything is transformed through the camera.

When you go searching, you never know what you will find.

[My] goal as an artist is to create increasingly complex images with greater and greater clarity of form and intensity of vision.

If an artist is one who spends his life trying to define his being, I guess I would have to call myself an artist.

My best Pictures are the ones I don’t understand.
