The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best.

All the good pictures that came so easily now make the next set of pictures virtually impossible in your mind.

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

What is truth in photography? It can be told in a hundred different ways. Every thirtieth of a second when the shutter snaps, its capturing a different piece of information.

The fact is that these are not my children; they are figures on silvery paper slivered out of time. They represent my children at a fraction of a second on one particular afternoon with infinite variables of light, expression, posture, muscle tension, mood, wind and shade. These are not my children at all; these are children in a photograph.

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.

As ephemeral as our footprints were in the sand along the river, so also were those moments of childhood caught in the photographs. And so will be our family itself, our marriage, the children who enriched it and the love that has carried us through so much. All this will be gone. What we hope will remain are these pictures, telling our brief story.
