[in The Late 80's] That's The First Time I Heard About That Astonishing Idea [that Most Photographs Would Be Taken On Telephones]. And Now I've Been Watching The Tsunami Of Images.

My First Priority When Taking Pictures Is To Achieve Clarity. A Good Documentary Photograph Transmits The Information Of The Situation With The Utmost Fidelity; Achieving It Means Understanding The Nuances Of Lighting And Composition, And Also Remembering To Keep The Lenses Clean And The Cameras Steady.

What I'm Interested In Is Modern American History. I'm Taken With The Changes That Have Occurred In America In My Lifetime.

Editorial Photography Has To Be Energetic And Visually Competitive.

I'm Interested In Smokers Standing On Ledges, And Big Box Stores, The Rise Of The Suburbs, And The Hollowing Out Of Small Towns. Self-storage. Things That Didn't Exist 50 Years Ago. Our Common Culture. What We Have Agreed Is Ok To Live With.
