I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.

Photography's like this baby that needs to be fed all the time. It's always hungry.

Image
I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

In this day and age of things moving so, so fast, we still long for things to stop, and we as a society love the still image. Every time there is some terrible or great moment, we remember the stills.

If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.

When I'm asked about my work, I try to explain that there is no mystery involved. It is work. But things happen all the time that are unexpected, uncontrolled, unexplainable, even magical. The work prepares you for that moment. Suddenly the clouds roll in and the soft light you longed for appears.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

When you are on assignment, film is the least expensive thing in a very practical sense. Your time, the person's time, turns out to be the most valuable thing.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.

Image
I don't try to overintellectua lize my concepts of people. In fact, the ideas I have, if you talk about them, they seem extremely corny and it's only in their execution that people can enjoy them...It's something I've learned to trust: The stupider it is, the better it looks.

When I say I want to photograph someone, what it really means is that I'd like to know them. Anyone I know I photograph.

It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.

My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can’t. It’s important to stay the course. I don’t think I would have lasted this long if I’d listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.

A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
