To Be An Artist, You Have To

When I Was A Boy, My Family Took Great Care With Our Snapshots. We Really Planned Them. We Made Compositions. We Posed In Front Of Expensive Cars, Homes, That Werent Ours. We Borrowed Dogs. Almost Every Family Picture Taken Of Us When I Was Young Had A Different Borrowed Dog In It.

I See Pictures Of Myself And I Always Knew That What I Was Feeling Didn't Look Like That Guy In The Pictures.

Sometimes I Think All My Pictures Are Just Pictures Of Me.

Faces Are The Ledgers Of Our Experience.

I Know That The Accident Of My Being A Photographer Has Made My Life Possible.
