If I Didn't Have A Camera, The

Freaks Was A Thing I Photographed A Lot. It Was One Of The First Things I Photographed And It Had A Terrific Kind Of Excitement For Me. I Just Used To Adore Them. I Still Do Adore Some Of Them. I Don't Quite Mean They're My Best Friends But They Made Me Feel A Mixture Of Shame And Awe.

I Mean, It's Very Subtle And A Little Embarrassing To Me, But I Really Believe There Are Things Which Nobody Would See Unless I Photographed Them.

One Thing I Would Never Photograph Is A Dog Lying In The Mud.

If You Scrutinize Reality Closely Enough, If In Some Way You Really, Really Get To It, It Becomes Fantastic.

What Moves Me About...what's Called Technique...is That It Comes From Some Mysterious Deep Place. I Mean It Can Have Something To Do With The Paper And The Developer And All That Stuff, But It Comes Mostly From Some Very Deep Choices Somebody Has Made That Take A Long Time And Keep Haunting Them.
