I Don't Get Straight People, But I

Photography Is Very Presumptuous. Photographers Are Always Photographing Other People's Lives - Something They Know Nothing About - And Drawing Great Inferences Into It.

My Work Is About My Life As An Event, And I Find Myself To Be Very Temporal, Transient.

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

Photographers Tend Not To Photograph What They Can’t See, Which Is The Very Reason One Should Try To Attempt It. Otherwise We’re Going To Go On Forever Just Photographing More Faces And More Rooms And More Places. Photography Has To Transcend Description. It Has To Go Beyond Description To Bring Insight Into The Subject, Or Reveal The Subject, Not As It Looks, But How Does It Feel?

You Can Never Capture A Person In Picture, Never. You Might Get An Interesting Expression Or Gesture. I Almost Never Research A Picture Subject Ahead Of Time. I Think Karsh Is Full Of Baloney. Can You Imagine Spending A Whole Week Out In La Jolla With Jonas Salk Soaking Up His Ambiance, Then Wind Up Making Him Look As If He's In The Studio In Ottawa With His Thumb Under His Chin?
