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.

Image
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.

I feel very proud of the work from the '80s because it is very bright and colorful.

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.

...I gave up on being a journalist - I thought having a point of view was more important than being objective.

What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.
