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

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

I don't see many artists who are not trying to bring their work to the public - -to the contrary I see artists nearly desperate to get attention for their art and, failing that, often for themselves.

If I could be said to have any kind of aesthetic, it's sort of a magpie aesthetic - I just go and pick up whatever is around. If you think about it, the children were there, so I took pictures of my children. It's not that I'm interested in children that much or photographing them - it's just that they were there.

I’m past photographing to see what things look like photographed.

The earth doesn’t care where death occurs. ...It’s the artist, by coming in and writing about it or painting it or taking a photograph of it, that makes the earth powerful and creates death’s memory. Because the land will not remember by itself, but the artist will.

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.
