I Enjoy Nothing More Than Spending Time With My Loved Ones, Young And Old, And At Least Once A Year We Get Together For A Formal Family Photograph.

In Those Simpler Days, You Could Just Take Pictures Of Movie Stars And Show Them The Way They Were, As Normal Human Beings. And If I Felt Part Of Any Movement At The Time, It Was Just To Do That - To Be Journalistic And Photograph What Is, Rather Than What Is Made Up.

It's About Reacting To What You See, Hopefully Without Preconception. You Can Find Pictures Anywhere. It's Simply A Matter Of Noticing Things And Organising Them. You Just Have To Care About What's Around You And Have A Concern With Humanity And The Human Comedy.

There's No Great Mystique To Photography. A Lot Of Photographers Like To Put Their Hands Up To Their Forehead And Tell You How They've Suffered And So Forth. Well, I Just Rent A Car And Drive To The Place And Take The Pictures.
