Photography Is Not Cute Cats,

The Eye Traffics In Feelings, Not In Thoughts.

It's Too Presumptuous And Naïve To Think You Can Change Society By A Photograph Or Anything Else... I Equate That With Propaganda; I Think That's A Lower Rank Of Purpose.

It's Easy To Photograph Light Reflecting From A Surface, The Truly Hard Part Is Capturing The Light In The Air.

When You Say Documentary, You Have To Have A Sophisticated Ear To Receive That Word. It Should Be Documentary Style, Because Documentary Is Police Photography Of A Scene And A Murder ... That's A Real Document. You See, Art Is Really Useless, And A Document Has Use. And Therefore, Art Is Never A Document, But It Can Adopt That Style. I Do It. I'm Called A Documentary Photographer. But That Presupposes A Quite Subtle Knowledge Of This Distinction.
