I don't care so much anymore about 'good photography' I am gathering evidence for history.

[The photograph is] still a space to reorganize our thoughts about reality and our place in the world. How do you disentangle the surface of reality?

I'm proposing to you that photography is a language on its own, which is that when you look at images you do derive ideas and I'm also proposing to you that you can derive ideas without going through words. So I'm forcing you to really look. And this process of looking, it's like a new set of ideas that are being proposed to you.

We are entering into an age in which visual language is defined by a dialogue between photographers and audiences. This means not just the democratic posting of images but the democratic interpretation of images.

Even before I started photography, I began to see that there was a disjunction between available languages and reality.
