Losing My Father At A Tender Age

The Camera Is Objective. When It Records A Face It Can't Make Any Hierarchical Decisions About A Nose Being More Important Than A Cheek. The Camera Is Not Aware Of What It Is Looking At. It Just Gets It All Down.

If You're Overwhelmed By The Size Of A Problem, Break It Down Into Smaller Pieces.

Part Of The Joy Of Looking At Art Is Getting In Sync In Some Ways With The Decision-making Process That The Artist Used And The Record That's Embedded In The Work.

Art Saved My Life In Two Ways. It Made Me Feel Special, Because I Could Do Things My Friends Couldn't, But It Also Gave Me A Way To Demonstrate To My Teacher That, Despite The Fact That I Couldn't Write A Paper Or Do Math, I Was Paying Attention.

It Always Amazes Me That Just When I Think There's Nothing Left To Do In Photography And That All Permutations And Possibilities Have Been Exhausted, Someone Comes Along And Puts The Medium To New Use, And Makes It His Or Her Own, Yanks It Out Of This Kind Of Amateur Status, And Makes It As Profound And As Moving And As Formally Interesting As Any Other Medium.
