I never think about a photo before I start it. I try to let my mind relax, and then when I get there I do it.

Black and White is essentially an abstract way to interpret and transform what one might refer to as reality. My purpose in taking photographs over the past forty years has ultimately been about defining myself. It has been fundamentally a psychological and existential journey.

The pictures are of a psychological culture, a Jungian culture, if you will. It emanates from my own psyche... It's a hard place to get to, honestly. It has taken me many years to get to that place and to define it visually.

In the end, I believe that the most important influence on my aesthetic has been the photographs I have taken.

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.

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