“Photography is not about the thing
photographed. It is about how that thing looks photographed.”
“I photograph to find out what
something will look like photographed.”
“The photo is a thing in itself.
And that's what still photography is all about.”
“I photograph what interests me all
the time. I live with the pictures to see what that thing looks like
photographed.”
“...In the end, maybe the correct
language would be how the fact of putting four edges around a collection of
information or facts transforms it. A photograph is not what was photographed,
it’s something else.”
“You have a lifetime to learn
technique. But I can teach you what is more important than technique, how to
see; learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.”
