Once My Hand Has Drawn

I've No Doubt That Those Photographs I Took Will Make People Look At Everything In A More Interesting Way - The Little Tear On One Piece Of Paper, The Shadow On Another. But Good Painting Has Always Done That - Made You See Things. And The Most Ordinary Can Be The Most Extraordinary.

With Chemical Film, It Was Possible To Alter Photographs, But You Had To Be An Expert. That's Not True Any More. The La Times Fired A Photographer At The Beginning Of The Iraq War For Editing Two Shots Together. Photography Is Crumbling. Certainly It Is For The Newspapers A Bit Now, Isn't It? There Will Be Painting Again, Absolutely!

In The End Nobody Knows How It's Done — How Art Is Made. It Can't Be Explained. Optical Devices Are Just Tools. Understanding A Tool Doesn't Explain The Magic Of Creation. Nothing Can.

I Never Work With Music. I Hate Background Music, Always Did. I Only Like Music In The Foreground, Meaning, Deliberately Listen To It, Actually.

All Painters Are Interested In Photography To A Certain Extent.
