Photographs That Transcend But Do Not Deny

I Was Giving A Lecture And I Said, That's Enough About The Photographic Life, Meaning My Biography, Now Let's Talk About The Life Of A Photograph. And In That One Instant I Got The Title For A Potential Next Book.

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.

I Now Want To Be A Photographer Of My Time, And Our Common Culture.

Actually, Ambition Won't Get You That Far. You'll Shift Gears. You'll See Something That's Shinier. But If You Believe... Then You're The Long-distance Runner.

We Know That Photographs Inform People. We Also Know That Photographs Move People. The Photograph That Does Both Is The One We Want To See And Make.
