Jock Sturges
A virulent, aggressive minority has decided that Americans don’t know themselves what it is they should see, and need to be protected by people who are wiser than they are, even if they are only a tiny sliver of the population.
Jock Sturges
I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.
Jock Sturges
My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.
Jock Sturges
No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.
Jock Sturges
I am fascinated by the human body and all its evolutions.
Jock Sturges
But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.
