I've always said that the only thing a photograph is good at capturing faithfully is another flat surface.
There is nothing wrong with photography, if you don't mind the perspective of a paralysed Cyclops.
The condition of photographing is maybe the condition of being on the brink of conversion to anything.
There are an awful lot of people in the world and it's going to be terribly hard to photograph all of them... It was my teacher Lisette Model who finally made it clear to me that the more specific you are, the more general it will be.
It would be beautiful to photograph the winners of everything from Nobel to booby prize, clutching trophy, or money or certificate, solemn or smiling or tear stained or bloody, on the precarious pinnacle of the human landscape.
These are characters in a fairy tale for grown-ups. Wouldn't it be lovely? Yes.
I think the most beautiful inventions are the ones you don't think of.
We stand on a precipice, then before a chasm, and as we wait it becomes higher, wider, deeper, but I am crazy enough to think it doesn't matter which way we leap because when we leap we will have learned to fly. Is that blasphemy or faith?
I'm very little drawn to photographing people that are known or even subjects that are known. They fascinate me when I've barely heard of them.
The camera is cruel, so I try to be as good as I can to make things even.
