The Unusual Wins Out Over The Usual.

I Wanted Life To Be Episodic. I Wanted To Be A Magazine Photographer And I Was Willing To Do What It Took To Become That.

For Example, In My Dorm, At The University Of Kentucky, I Had The Only Camera. I Don't Think Anyone Came To College With A Camera, Other Than Me.

For Spiritual Companions I Have Had The Many Artists Who Have Relied On Nature To Help Shape Their Imagination. And Their Most Elaborate Equipment Was A Deep Reverence For The World Through Which They Passed. Photographers Share Something With These Artists. We Seek Only To See And To Describe With Our Own Voices, And, Though We Are Seldom Heard As Soloists, We Cannot Photograph The World In Any Other Way.

[ My Time And Our Common Culture] It's What I'm Photographing, And I'm Very Involved With That.

I Wanted It To Be The Same Thing He Wanted It To Be, An Open Ended Invitation To Think About Authorship, And Who Owns A Created Work. So I Pair It With My Appropriated Picture.
