I began drawing as a very young child and had a grandfather who experimented with photography, so those things constituted my first exposure to art.

When I was young, I was interested in Renaissance art.

As a child, I copied Duerer drawings and Bruegel.

I don't see a big difference between painting and photography. Moreover, such distinctions mean nothing to me.

A negative is never finished.

It's the procedures in and for themselves that interest me. The picture isn't really necessary.

I’m a believer in luck and think the social conditions you’re born into provide the opportunity for you to prove your luck. And I suppose I’ve been lucky.
