Life rarely presents fully finished photographs. An image evolves, often from a single strand of visual interest - a distant horizon, a moment of light, a held expression.

My best work is often almost unconscious and occurs ahead of my ability to understand it.

The best lesson I was given is that all of life teaches, especially if we have that expectation.

I had a book come out several years ago, when there were no blogs. This is a mark to me about how the environment has changed.

Richard Prince's most famous photograph was made by me.

As I have practiced it, photography produces pleasure by simplicity. I see something special and show it to the camera. A picture is produced. The moment is held until someone sees it. Then it is theirs.

There's a great quote about Virginia Woolf, she had the same spiritual stake in her diaries as she had in her writing.
