There's something essentially fictive about a photograph. That doesn't mean that if you understand that, and you understand how the world is transformed by the camera, that you can't use the limitations or the transformation to have an observation that is a very subtle perception of the world.

As not a native, I have the advantage of not seeing scenes habitually. I can see things fresh.

I don't know how much a photograph can add to a biography, the way a film or writing or narrative medium could. Because it's a frozen image.

I have to be reminded, “’It’s your son’s birthday party. Bring a camera.’ And then, when I’m there, ‘Take a picture,’ because it doesn’t occur to me to use it as this memorializing thing.

If you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism.

I think most serious photographers understand that there's this large gap between the world and how the world looks through a photograph.

A photograph has edges the world does not.
