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

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.

[Photography] tells you that every second in time is different from every other second. You want people to understand that the image in front of them has something to do with the truth, and it can never be repeated.

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

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

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.
