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

I have gradually confused photography with life.

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

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.
