All Good Work Has Magic In It,

I Write In Order To Express What The Photo Itself Cannot Say. A Photograph Of My Father Doesn't Tell Me What I Thought Of Him, Which For Me Is Much More Important Than What The Man Looked Like.

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.

If I Was Concerned About Being Accepted, I Would Have Been Doing Ansel Adams Lookalikes, Because That Was Easily Accepted. Everything I Did Was Never Accepted...but Luckily For Me, My Interest In The Subject And My Passion For The Subject Took Me To The Point That I Wasn't Wounded By That, And Eventually, People Came Around To Me.

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.
