We Look At The World And See

To Me Documentary Photography Means Making A Picture So That The Viewer Doesn’t Think About The Man Who Made The Picture. At Its Esthetic Core Is Very Old Tradition In Art: Naturalism. And Its Purpose Is To Document All Facets Of Social Relationships.

If You Look Very Intensely And Slowly Things Will Happen That You Never Dreamed Of Before.

The Only Other Things I Got From The Abstract Expressionists Is The Absolute Belief That This Canvas Is The Complete Total Area Of Struggle, This Is The Arena, This Is Where The Fight Is Taking Place, The Battle. Everybody Believes That, But You Have To Really Believe That And Work That Way.

The Only Nature I'm Interested In Is My Own Nature.

The Business Of Making A Photograph May Be Said In Simple Terms To Consist Of Three Elements: The Objective World (whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder), The Sheet Of Paper On Which The Picture Will Be Realized, And The Experience Which Brings Them Together.
