All Good Work Has Magic In It,

I Think Photographs Should Be Provocative And Not Tell You What You Already Know. It Takes No Great Powers Or Magic To Reproduce Somebody's Face In A Photograph. The Magic Is In Seeing People In New Ways.

Art Is Not Fashionable. That's Why Fashion And Art Are Two Different Things. Fashion Can Never Be Art Because Fashion Deals With Whim, What Is Temporary, What Changes, What Is Transient, What Is Now And Not Now. Art Has To Deal With Issues That Are Timeless, That Never Change.

Taking The Photograph Is The Easiest Part For Me

Photography Is Essentially An Act Of Recognition By Street Photographers, Not An Act Of Invention. Photographers Might Respond To An Old Man’s Face, Or An Arbus Freak, Or The Way Light Hits A Building—and Then They Move On. Whereas In All The Other Art Forms, Take William Blake, Everything That Came To That Paper Never Existed Before. It’s The Idea Of Alchemy, Of Making Something From Nothing.

Photography Deals Exquisitely With Appearances, But Nothing Is What It Appears To Be.
