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.

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

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.

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

I never prepare a speech. I never think when I give a speech, except for "don't embarrass yourself or others," meaning "remember the names of the people you have to thank."

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.

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