I Did Find A Wonderful Girl Last

Photography Is 10% Inspiration And 90% Moving Furniture.

It Began When I Was So Ill That There Was A Good Chance Of Dying. I Promised Myself That If I Survived I Would Never Again Pander To A Magazine's Requests Or Follow The Ideas Of Art Directors. I Would Only Make Images Which Were Personal, Which Arose Out Of My Own Life.

In The Photographs Themselves There's A Definite Contrast Between The Figures And The Location - I Like That Kind Of California Backyard Look; Clapboard Houses, Staircases Outdoors.

Genius And Taste Don't Go Together.

Some People`s Photography Is An Art. Mine Is Not. If They Happen To Be Exhibited In A Gallery Or A Museum, That`s Fine. But That`s Not Why I Do Them. I`m A Gun For Hire.
