Photography Has Always Reminded Me

Start With A Style And You Are In Chains, Start With An Idea And You Are Free.

I See Pictures Of Myself And I Always Knew That What I Was Feeling Didn't Look Like That Guy In The Pictures.

I Think Charm Is The Ability To Be Truly Interested In Other People

My Photographs Don't Go Below The Surface. They Don't Go Below Anything. They're Readings Of The Surface. I Have Great Faith In Surfaces. A Good One Is Full Of Clues. But Whenever I Become Absorbed In The Beauty Of A Face, In The Excellence Of A Single Feature, I Feel I've Lost What's Really There Been Seduced By Someone Else's Standard Of Beauty Or By The Sitter's Own Idea Of The Best In Him. That's Not Usually The Best. So Each Sitting Becomes A Contest.

When I Was A Boy, My Family Took Great Care With Our Snapshots. We Really Planned Them. We Made Compositions. We Posed In Front Of Expensive Cars, Homes, That Werent Ours. We Borrowed Dogs. Almost Every Family Picture Taken Of Us When I Was Young Had A Different Borrowed Dog In It.
