The World Can Only Be Grasped By

I Really Believe There Are Things Nobody Would See If I Didn't Photograph Them.

I Used To Have This Notion When I Was A Kid That The Minute You Said Anything, It Was No Longer True. Of Course It Would Have Driven Me Crazy Very Rapidly If I Hadn't Dropped It, But There's Something Similar In What I'm Trying To Say. That Once It's Been Done, You Want To Go Someplace Else. There's Just Some Sense Of Straining.

It's Important To Take Bad Pictures. It's The Bad Ones That Have To Do With What You've Never Done Before. They Can Make You Recognize Something You Hadn't Seen In A Way That Will Make You Recognize It When You See It Again.

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.

My Favorite Thing Is To Go Where I've Never Been.
