I don't quite understand how a generation and a half after the Second World War we've gotten where we are now.

There's a desire for me in the work, even when I'm looking at the past, to be looking from the present. It's to be here now. It's looking in the present tense.

I don't quite understand how a generation and a half after the Second World War we've gotten where we are now.

I choose to work behind the camera. And I kind of want to make the work and then run away. The presentation of myself really feels complicated for me.

I'd grown up poor; I had no idea what it was like to be comfortable.

I've been taking pictures since I was probably 16. I'm 54, and I can't believe how excited I am.

The career has to support the making and can offer a platform, can offer you a voice in the world. And that's an incredible thing. But it's complicated and seductive and weird and tricky. I think you have to keep figuring that out your whole life.
