And If A Day Goes By Without

My Photographs Don't Go Below The Surface. They Don't Go Below Anything. They're Readings Of The Surface. I Have Great Faith In Surfaces. A Good One Is Full Of Clues.

I've Photographed Just About Everyone In The World. But What I Hope To Do Is Photograph People Of Accomplishment, Not Celebrity, And Help Define The Difference Once Again.

My Photographs Don't Go Below The Surface. They Don't Go Below Anything. They're Readings Of The Surface. I Have Great Faith In Surfaces. A Good One Is Full Of Clues. But Whenever I Become Absorbed In The Beauty Of A Face, In The Excellence Of A Single Feature, I Feel I've Lost What's Really There Been Seduced By Someone Else's Standard Of Beauty Or By The Sitter's Own Idea Of The Best In Him. That's Not Usually The Best. So Each Sitting Becomes A Contest.

All Photographs Are Accurate. None Of Them Is The Truth.

The Pictures Have A Reality For Me That The People Don't. It Is Through The Photographs That I Know Them.
