My Lens Of Choice Was Always The

The First Thing I Did With My Very First Camera Was Climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji Is A Lesson In Determination And Moderation. It Would Be Fair To Ask If I Took The Moderation Part To Heart. But It Certainly Was A Lesson In Respecting Your Camera. If I Was Going To Live With This Thing, I Was Going To Have To Think About What That Meant. There Were Not Going To Be Any Pictures Without It.

Everyone Has A Point Of View. Some People Call It Style, But What We're Really Talking About Is The Guts Of A Photograph. When You Trust Your Point Of View, That's When You Start Taking Pictures.

I Think Self-portraits Are Very Difficult. I’ve Always Seen Mine As Straightforward, Very Stripped Down, Hair Pulled Back. No Shirt. Whatever Light Happened To Be Available. I’d Want It To Be Very Graphic – About Darkness And Light. No One Else Should Be There, But I’m Scared To Do It By Myself. I’ve Been Thinking About It For A Long Time. The Whole Idea Of A Self-portrait Is Strange. I’m So Strongly Linked To How I See Through The Camera That To Get To The Other Side Of It Would Be Difficult. It Would Be As If I Were Taking A Photograph In The Dark.

If It Makes You Cry, It Goes In The Show.

One Doesn't Stop Seeing. One Doesn't Stop Framing. It Doesn't Turn Off And Turn On. It's On All The Time.
