Sometimes I Think All My

The Moment An Emotion Or Fact Is Transformed Into A Photograph It Is No Longer A Fact But An Opinion.

And If A Day Goes By Without My Doing Something Related To Photography, It's As Though I've Neglected Something Essential To My Existence, As Though I Had Forgotten To Wake Up. I Know That The Accident Of My Being A Photographer Has Made My Life Possible.

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.

A Portrait Isn't A Fact But An Opinion - An Occasion Rather Than A Truth.

To Be An Artist, You Have To Nurture The Things That Most People Discard.
