I Feel A Responsibility To My Backyard.

Things Happen In Front Of You. That's Perhaps The Most Wonderful And Mysterious Aspect Of Photography.

I Didn't Want To Let Women Down. One Of The Stereotypes I See Breaking Is The Idea Of Aging And Older Women Not Being Beautiful.

When I Started To Be Published I Thought About Margaret Bourke-white And The Whole Journalistic Approach To Things. I Believed I Was Supposed To Catch Life Going By Me - That I Wasn't To Alter It Or Tamper With It - That I Was Just To Watch What Was Going On And Report It As Best I Could. This Shoot With John Was Different. I Got Involved, And I Realized That You Can't Help But Be Touched By What Goes On In Front Of You. I No Longer Believe That There Is Such A Thing As Objectivity.

I Still Need The Camera Because It Is The Only Reason Anyone Is Talking To Me.

I Was Scared To Do Anything In The Studio Because It Felt So Claustrophobic. I Wanted To Be Somewhere Where Things Could Happen And The Subject Wasn't Just Looking Back At You.
