Image
Cameras always were seductive. And then a darkroom became available, and that's when I stopped doing anything else.

I know what I like to use myself. I use Leicas, but when I look at the photograph, I don't ask the photograph questions. Mine or anybody else's. The only time I've ever dealt with that kind of thing is when I'm teaching.

I don't go around looking at my pictures.

Sometimes I feel like . . . the world is a place I bought a ticket to. It’s a big show for me, as if it wouldn’t happen if I wasn’t there with a camera.

Image
I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.

At times people in the press were also useful to me.

The photo is a thing in itself. And that's what still photography is all about.

I was a hired gun, more or less.

Nobody sold prints then and prices didn't mean anything. In terms of earning your living, it was a joke.

I'm trying to learn more and more about what's possible.

The primary problem is to learn to be your own toughest critic. You have to pay attention to intelligent work, and to work at the same time. You see. I mean, you’ve got to bounce off better work. It’s matter of working.
