To collect photographs is to collect the world.

The most potent elements in a work of art are, often, its silences.

The young-old polarization and the male-female polarization are perhaps the two leading stereotypes that imprison people.

Photographs are a way of imprisoning reality, understood as recalcitrant, inaccessible; of making it stand still. Or they enlarge a reality that is felt to be shrunk, hollowed out, perishable, remote. One can't possess reality, one can possess (and be possessed by) images.

Most of my reading is rereading.

You can go into all sorts of situations with a camera and people will think they should serve it.

Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead.
