In the end, maybe the correct language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed, it’s something else.

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

The only thing that’s difficult is reloading when things are happening. Can you get it done fast enough?

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

Photography is about finding out what can happen in the frame. When you put four edges around some facts, you change those facts.

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.

A photograph is the illusion of a literal description of how the camera ‘saw’ a piece of time and space.

The world isn’t tidy; it’s a mess. I don’t try to make it neat.

Well, I’m not going to get into that. I think that those kind of distinctions and lists of titles like “street photographer” are so stupid. I’m a photographer, a still photographer. That’s it.

You see something happening and you bang away at it. Either you get what you saw or you get something else – and whichever is better you print.
