In My Mind I Needed A Symbol Of Today's Technology, And I Realized That What I Wanted To Photograph Was The Space Shuttle. And So That's Where Places Of Power Came Into Being.

I Think One Of The Aspects Of Photography That Remains For Me Is I Find The Process Still Frustrating. The Counter To That Is That It's Still Very Exciting. If You Didn't Have The Frustration, You Wouldn't Have The Excitement. If You Didn't Have The Disappointment, You Wouldn't Have The Magical Intoxication Of This Process Working.

And Friends Of Mine That Had Photography Class In High School Would Develop The Film And Make Prints And I'd Take Them Back To The Track And Give 'em Away Or Try And Sell Them. Much To My Parents' Dismay, I Majored In Photography In College.

To Me, Photography Is 90% A Retrospective Experience. There's The Part Of Pursuing The Image, And Exposing The Film, But Once You Make The Exposure, You're Always Looking Backwards In Time. I Like That Aspect Of Photography.
