Quote

[Me book is] called Stock Photographs. It was done at the Fort Worth livestock show and rodeo. I was commissioned to shoot there by the Fort Worth Art Museum for a show. I probably shot a total of fourteen days, give or take.

A photograph can look any way.

You've got to deal with how photographs look, what's there, not how they're made.

You just go through a certain kind of drudgery every time you have to look for something. I've got certain things grouped by now, but there's a drudgery in finding them. There's always stuff missing.

You're talking about meaning. I want to talk about the picture.

When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.

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

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.

I'm living in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I've been a gypsy for quite a while. It'll come to an end. I'm going to come back to New York.

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

I don't think time is involved in how the thing is made.

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

People are just dumb. They misunderstand.

Aside from the fact of just taking things out of context, I don't know why. That's part of a mystery. In a way, a transformation is a mystery to me. But there is a transformation, and that's fascinating.

There is a transformation, you see, when you just put four edges around it. That changes it. A new world is created.

Teaching doesn't relate to photographing, at least not for me.

I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.

I have no expectations. None at all.

I photograph to find out what something will look like photographed.

Teaching is only interesting because you struggle with trying to talk about photographs, photographs that work, you see.
