Photographer Quotes

Themes recur again and again in my work.
What do you hang on the walls of your mind?
What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.'
What has changed is that when I photographed, most people that I photographed didn't have the right of refusal on their work. It would take a Marilyn Monroe at her height to be able to dictate that.
What I have tried to do is involve the people I was photographing... if they were willing to give, I was willing to photograph.
What you need to be a good photographer is an overwhelming curiosity and a good digestion. Sometimes you feel blessed with curiosity, sometimes you feel cursed with it.

Books have this function that help me to understand the work I've done, to wrap it up.
Books have this function that help me to understand the work I've done, to wrap it up. Once it's done, fortunately, it doesn't mean there's closure.
Change in my work happens not in revolutions - it's more evolutionary.
I see my practice as picture making. Whatever is available, I use.
I want the pictures to be working in both directions. I accept that they speak about me, and yet at the same time, I want and expect them to function in terms of the viewer and their experience.
