I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.

Photography is just light remembering itself.

My creative process begins when I get out with the camera and interact with the world. A camera is truly a license to explore. There are no uninteresting things. There are just uninterested people.

It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.

The goal of the artist is not to resolve life's mysteries, but to deepen them.

My visual quest is driven by a desire to create a universe capable of supporting feelings and ideas.

Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself.

The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.

The public has yet to see TV as TV. Broadcasters have no awareness of its potential. The movie people are just beginning to get a grasp on film.

A woman's beauty is a treasure beyond price.

There's scarce a point whereon mankind agree - So well as in their boast of killing me; I boast of nothing, but when I've a mind - I think I can be even with mankind

Good art has everything you need to know about it in the work, not on a wall label. Art is here to take us beyond language.
