Seeing is a neglected enterprise.

I have a deep-seated distrust and even contempt for people who are driven by ambition to conquer the world … those who cannot control themselves and produce vast amounts of crap that no one cares about. I find it unattractive. I like the Zen artists: they’d do some work, and then they’d stop for a while.

A window covered with raindrops interests me more than a photograph of a famous person.

Photography allows you to learn to look and see. You begin to see things you'd never paid attention to.

I go out to take a walk, I see something, I take a picture. I take photographs. I have avoided profound explanations of what I do.

I leave these speculations to others. It’s quite possible that my work represents a search for beauty in the most prosaic and ordinary places. One doesn’t have to be in some faraway dreamland in order to find beauty.

Seeing is a neglected enterprise.
