Every image is in some way a “portrait,” not in the way that it would reproduce the traits of a person, but in that it pulls and draws (this is the semantic and etymological sense of the word), in that it extracts something, an intimacy, a force.

Sometimes I think the only memories I have are those that I’ve created around photographs of me as a child. Maybe I’m creating my own life. I distrust any memories I do have. They may be fictions, too.

It is easier for me to take ten good pictures in an airplane bathroom than in the gardens at Versailles.

Like all photographers, I depend on serendipity I pray for what might be referred to as the angel of chance.

It's always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary...it never occurred to me to leave home to make art.

Photographs open doors into the past, but they also alloq a look into the future

You can tell a good ruined lens, right from the get-go.... That’s the kind of lens I'm looking for.
