Photographs supplant and corrupt the past, all the while creating their own memories.

If it doesn’t have ambiguity, don’t bother to take it. I love that, that aspect of photography - the mendacity of photography. It’s got to have some kind of peculiarity in it, or it’s not interesting to me.

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

Unless you photograph what you love, you're not going to make good art.

There is a great quote from a female writer. She said, 'If you don't break out in a sweat of fear when you write, you are not writing well enough. I tend to agree. I think my best pictures come when I push myself.

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.

As an artist your trajectory just has to keep going up. the thing that subverts your next body of work is the work you've taken before.
