I've Worked Out Of A Series Of No's. No To Exquisite Light, No To Apparent Compositions, No To The Seduction Of Poses Or Narrative. And All These No's Force Me To The Yes. I Have A White Background. I Have The Person I'm Interested In And The Thing That Happens Between Us.

I Think All Art Is About Control, The Encounter Between Control And Uncontrollable.

If I Could Do What I Want With My Eyes Alone, I Would Be Happy.

All Photographs Are Accurate. None Of Them Is The Truth.
