The Camera Is A Kind Of License.

I'm Very Little Drawn To Photographing People That Are Known Or Even Subjects That Are Known. They Fascinate Me When I've Barely Heard Of Them.

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.

For Me, The Subject Of The Picture Is Always More Important Than The Picture.

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

The Chinese Have A Theory That You Pass Through Boredom Into Fascination And I Think It's True. I Would Never Choose A Subject For What It Means To Me Or What I Think About It. You've Just Got To Choose A Subject - And What You Feel About It, What It Means, Begins To Unfold If You Just Plain Choose A Subject And Do It Enough.
