The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.

When I was younger, I did things with a camera I would not do by myself. I remember going down to the docks in San Francisco and asking a fisherman if he would take me out on his boat. I would never do that without a camera.

The subjects felt more comfortable if they played the role than if they had to be themselves.

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

Image
I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

Image
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.

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