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

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.

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

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."

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