What attracts me in photography is not so much a fine arts approach, but rather photographs as documents... All the ways in which human beings have documented the world in an attempt to order it, in an attempt to consume it or rule it or hang on to it in some sense.

I'm always amazed at how people make work no matter how intense the pressure.

When people look at a photograph, they believe it... My photographs crawl along that edge. I document the world, but from my own biased point of view.

I really loved music and went to a lot of clubs to see bands and dance. I loved going out.

Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

By nature, I'm a little distractible. I get very overwhelmed by the world.

I grew up in Harlem, but I moved to the Lower East Side when I was a teenager and it was ... I feel like when I try to describe it, it doesn't sound believable. It just sounds like you're lying. And I see it on the faces of my younger friends.
