I Think Photographs Should Be Provocative And Not Tell You What You Already Know. It Takes No Great Powers Or Magic To Reproduce Somebody's Face In A Photograph. The Magic Is In Seeing People In New Ways.

How Foolish Of Me To Believe That It Would Be That Easy. I Had Confused The Appearance Of Trees And Automobiles, And People With A Reality Itself, And Believed That A Photograph Of These Appearances To Be A Photograph Of It. It Is A Melancholy Truth That I Will Never Be Able To Photograph It And Can Only Fail. I Am A Reflection Photographing Other Reflections Within A Reflection. To Photograph Reality Is To Photograph Nothing.

I Never Went To A Photography School, Which Was My Saving Grace.

Can You Imagine Spending A Whole Week Out In La Jolla With Jonas Salk Soaking Up His Ambiance, Then Wind Up Making Him Look As If He's In The Studio In Ottawa With His Thumb Under His Chin?
