[our Self-image Is] That Gap Between Intention

There Are An Awful Lot Of People In The World And It's Going To Be Terribly Hard To Photograph All Of Them... It Was My Teacher Lisette Model Who Finally Made It Clear To Me That The More Specific You Are, The More General It Will Be.

Freaks Was A Thing I Photographed A Lot. It Was One Of The First Things I Photographed And It Had A Terrific Kind Of Excitement For Me. I Just Used To Adore Them. I Still Do Adore Some Of Them. I Don't Quite Mean They're My Best Friends But They Made Me Feel A Mixture Of Shame And Awe.

I Work From Awkwardness. By That I Mean I Don't Like To Arrange Things. If I Stand In Front Of Something, Instead Of Arranging It, I Arrange Myself.

The Condition Of Photographing Is Maybe The Condition Of Being On The Brink Of Conversion To Anything.

What I'm Trying To Describe Is That It's Impossible To Get Out Of Your Skin Into Somebody Else's.... That Somebody Else's Tragedy Is Not The Same As Your Own.
