My Dad Had Been An Ardent Amateur

My Least Favorite Photographer To Have Would Be Myself. Someone Who Wanted A Career At National Geographic. Because It's Almost Mathematically Impossible To Achieve That.

In Almost Every Photograph I Have Ever Made, There Is Something I Would Do To Complete It. I Take That To Be The Spirit Hole Or The Deliberate Mistake That's In A Navajo Rug To Not Be Godlike, But To Be Human.

My First Priority When Taking Pictures Is To Achieve Clarity. A Good Documentary Photograph Transmits The Information Of The Situation With The Utmost Fidelity; Achieving It Means Understanding The Nuances Of Lighting And Composition, And Also Remembering To Keep The Lenses Clean And The Cameras Steady.

There Isn't An Aspect Of Book Creation I Don't Enjoy, And There Has Always Been A Book In My Life To Dream About Or Work On.

First Of All, I Appropriate Photographs.in Presenting The Richard Prince Photograph I Tried To Be As Neutral As I Could Be. I Put Down The Fact Of It. I Wanted It To Be The Same Thing He Wanted It To Be, An Open Ended Invitation To Think About Authorship, And Who Owns A Created Work. So I Pair It With My Appropriated Picture.
