It Is No Longer A

To Me Documentary Photography Means Making A Picture So That The Viewer Doesn’t Think About The Man Who Made The Picture. At Its Esthetic Core Is Very Old Tradition In Art: Naturalism. And Its Purpose Is To Document All Facets Of Social Relationships.

The Only Nature I'm Interested In Is My Own Nature.

Photography Is A Way Of Feeling, Of Touching, Of Loving. What You Have Caught On Film Is Captured Forever... It Remembers Little Things, Long After You Have Forgotten Everything.

What Is The Subject Matter Of This Apparently Very Personal World? It Has Been Suggested That These Shapes And Images Are Underworld Characters, The Inhabitants Of The Vast Common Realm Of Memories That Have Gone Down Below The Level Of Conscious Control. It May Be They Are. The Degree Of Emotional Involvement And The Amount Of Free Association With The Material Being Photographed Would Point In That Direction.

When I Make A Photograph I Want It To Be An Altogether New Object, Complete And Self-contained, Whose Basic Condition Is Order (unlike The World Of Events And Actions Whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder).
