And In Not Learning The Rules, I

I Write In Order To Express What The Photo Itself Cannot Say. A Photograph Of My Father Doesn't Tell Me What I Thought Of Him, Which For Me Is Much More Important Than What The Man Looked Like.

Trust That Little Voice In Your Head That Says 'wouldn't It Be Interesting If...'; And Then Do It.

I Still Find Doing Portraits A Terrific Challenge, But Even Though I've Done Hundreds Of Them, I've Never Stopped Questioning The Very Nature Of Portraiture Because It Deals Exclusively With Appearances. I've Never Believed People Are What They Look Like And Think It's Impossible To Really Know What People Are.

Photography Does Deal With 'truth' Or A Kind Of Superficial Reality Better Than Any Of The Other Arts, But It Never Questions The Nature Of Reality - It Simply Reproduces Reality. And What Good Is That When The Things Of Real Value In Life Are Invisible?

You Can’t Teach Art, So Art School Is A Contradiction In Terms.
