The Reason I Don't Like Realist, Photorealist,

It Always Amazes Me That Just When I Think There's Nothing Left To Do In Photography And That All Permutations And Possibilities Have Been Exhausted, Someone Comes Along And Puts The Medium To New Use, And Makes It His Or Her Own, Yanks It Out Of This Kind Of Amateur Status, And Makes It As Profound And As Moving And As Formally Interesting As Any Other Medium.

The Thing That Interests Me About Photography, And Why It's Different From All Other Media, Is That It's The Only Medium In Which There Is Even The Possibility Of An Accidental Masterpiece.

Inspiration Is Highly Overrated. If You Sit Around And Wait For The Clouds To Part, It's Not Liable To Ever Happen. More Often Than Not, Work Is Salvation.

The Camera Is Objective. When It Records A Face It Can't Make Any Hierarchical Decisions About A Nose Being More Important Than A Cheek. The Camera Is Not Aware Of What It Is Looking At. It Just Gets It All Down.

Painting Is The Frozen Evidence Of A Performance.
