I only ever take one picture of one thing. Literally. Never two. So then that picture is taken and then the next one is waiting somewhere else.

Many people one meets in life somehow think they know you simply because they're hanging out at the same counter-but they really don't know a thing about you.

I’ve always assumed that the abstract qualities of [my] photographs are obvious. For instance, I can turn them upside down and they’re still interesting to me as pictures. If you turn a picture that’s not well organized upside down, it won’t work.

I had this notion of what I called a democratic way of looking around, that nothing was more or less important.

I am at war with the obvious.

There is no particular reason to search for meaning.

Whatever it is about pictures, photographs, it's just about impossible to follow up with words. They don't have anything to do with each other.
