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

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 think making things that appear simple is incredibly hard.

I was really poor for most of my adult life.

Something about photography is tied to a very specific relationship with the material world. It doesn't have to be, but the way I practice it, it is. So there's an act of observation, but it's not an act of objective recording. It's about framing something and seeing it and understanding that it's relational.

I'm always learning. I can't imagine doing anything else.
