I’m so worried that I’m going to perfect [my] technique someday. I have to say its unfortunate how many of my pictures do depend upon some technical error.

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

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

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.

I have nothing but respect for people who travel the world to make art and put exotic Indians in front of linen backdrops, but it's always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary.

I think truth is a layered phenomenon. There are many truths that accumulate and build up. I am trying to peel back and explore these rich layers of truth. All truths are difficult to reach.
