It Doesn't Upset Artists To Find Out

It Always Amazes Me That Just When I Think There's Nothing Left To Do In Photography And That All Permutations And Possibilities Have Been Exhausted, Someone Comes Along And Puts The Medium To New Use, And Makes It His Or Her Own, Yanks It Out Of This Kind Of Amateur Status, And Makes It As Profound And As Moving And As Formally Interesting As Any Other Medium.

Never Let Anyone Define What You Are Capable Of By Using Parameters That Don't Apply To You. Inspiration Is For Amateurs, The Rest Of Us Just Show Up And Get To Work. Every Great Idea I've Ever Had Grew Out Of Work Itself. Sign Onto A Process And See Where It Takes You. You Don't Have To Invent The Wheel Everyday. Today You Will Do What You Did Yesterday, Tomorrow You Will Do What You Did Today. Eventually, You Will Get Somewhere.

Get Yourself In Trouble. If You Get Yourself In Trouble, You Don't Have The Answers. And If You Don't Have The Answers, Your Solution Will More Likely Be Personal Because No One Else's Solutions Will Seem Appropriate. You'll Have To Come Up With Your Own.

Ive Said Its A Little Bit Like A Magician Performing For A Convention Of Magicians... All The Magicians In The Audience Watching This Illusion-do They See The Illusion, Or Do They See The Device That Made The Illusion? Probably They See A Little Of Both.

Like Any Corporation, I Have The Benefit Of The Brainpower Of Everyone Who Is Working For Me. It All Ends Up Being My Work, The Corporate Me, But Everyone Extends Ideas And Comes Up With Suggestions.
