Art Has To Address Eternal Issues.

Then All At Once In Late August's Heat, Tall Leafless Stalks Crowned With Iridescent Pink And Purple Blossoms Burst From The Purgatory In The Earth. This Arcane Act Of Nature, Though Perceived By Us As Ordinary, Is A Manifestation Of Maya's Phantom Play, The Great Immensity Expressed In Every Way. My Garden Is The Universe. I Am The Universe. I Am My Garden. All Things Are The Same.

I Still Find Doing Portraits A Terrific Challenge, But Even Though I've Done Hundreds Of Them, I've Never Stopped Questioning The Very Nature Of Portraiture Because It Deals Exclusively With Appearances. I've Never Believed People Are What They Look Like And Think It's Impossible To Really Know What People Are.

I Think Photographers Are Too Polite. There Is Not Enough Anger In Photography; It's Pretty Much Trivialized.

I Don't Get Straight People, But I Understand What They Look Like.

Don’t Try To Be An Artist. Find The Thing Within You That Needs To Be Expressed. You Might Find It Is Art.
