An Artist Must Be Ruthlessly Selfish.

I Can’t Stand These Damn Shows On Museum Walls With Neat Little Frames, Where You Look At The Images As If They Were Pieces Of Art. I Want Them To Be Pieces Of Life!

Available Light Is Any Damn Light That Is Available!

I Didn’t Write The Rules. Why Would I Follow Them?

The Purpose Of All Art Is To Cause A Deep And Emotion, Also One That Is Entertaining Or Pleasing. Out Of The Depth And Entertainment Comes Value.

Negatives Are The Notebooks, The Jottings, The False Starts, The Whims, The Poor Drafts, And The Good Draft But Never The Completed Version Of The Work The Print And A Proper One Is The Only Completed Photograph, Whether It Is Specifically Shaded For Reproduction, Or For A Museum Wall.
