My Portraits Are More About Me Than

I Hate Cameras. They Interfere, They're Always In The Way. I Wish: If I Could Work With My Eyes Alone.

Photography Has Always Reminded Me Of The Second Child.. Trying To Prove Itself. The Fact That It Wasn't Really Considered An Art.. That It Was Considered A Craft.. Has Trapped Almost Every Serious Photographer.

Real People Move, They Bear With Them The Element Of Time. It Is This Fourth Dimension Of People That I Try To Capture In A Photograph.

People — Running From Unhappiness, Hiding In Power — Are Locked Within Their Reputations, Ambitions, Beliefs.

When I Was A Boy, My Family Took Great Care With Our Snapshots. We Really Planned Them. We Made Compositions. We Posed In Front Of Expensive Cars, Homes, That Werent Ours. We Borrowed Dogs. Almost Every Family Picture Taken Of Us When I Was Young Had A Different Borrowed Dog In It.
