How Many Pictures Have You Torn Up Because You Hate Them? What Ends Up In Your Scrapbook? The Pictures Where You Look Like A Good Guy And A Good Family Man, And The Children Look Adorable - And They're Screaming The Next Minute. I've Never Seen A Family Album Of Screaming People.

There's Always Been A Separation Between Fashion And What I Call My 'deeper' Work. Fashion Is Where I Make My Living. I'm Not Knocking It. It's A Pleasure To Make A Living That Way.

A Portrait Is Not A Likeness. The Moment An Emotion Or Fact Is Transformed Into A Photograph It Is No Longer A Fact But An Opinion. There Is No Such Thing As Inaccuracy In A Photograph. All Photographs Are Accurate. None Of Them Is The Truth.

I Know That The Accident Of My Being A Photographer Has Made My Life Possible.
