An artist must be ruthlessly selfish.

I try to take what voice I have and I give it to those who don’t have one at all.

My pictures are complex and so am I. When I am almost symbolistic in writing, there is a more limiting difference’s of accepting, while I can be even more complex in the photographs and people can usually accept them within the framework of their own limitations or lack of limitations – there is no dictionary meaning… they can look up for the photographic image and allow it to confuse them.

I didn’t write the rules. Why would I follow them?

I can’t stand these damn shows on museum walls with neat little frames, where you look at the images as if they were pieces of art. I want them to be pieces of life!

Passion is in all great searches and is necessary to all creative endeavors.

Most photographers seem to operate with a pane of glass between themselves and their subjects. They just can't get inside and know the subject.
