To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.

The photographer's intentions do not determine the meaning of a photograph, which will have its own career, blown by the whims and loyalties of the diverse communities that have use for it.

The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.

To make your life being a writer, it's an auto-slavery ... you are both the slave and the task-master.

Photography is, first of all, a way of seeing.

Sanity is a cozy lie.

...to photograph is to frame, and to frame is to exclude.
