People Say To Me, "who's Your Favorite

I Was Asked By A Student What My Most Significant Accomplishment Was At National Geographic, After Thirty Years, And I Said That My Career Came To An Appropriate Close, And I Still Loved Photography. Not Everybody Who Spends Their Career At Anything Ends Up Fascinated And Involved With It.

I Will Just Say, Appropriation Is An Intellectual Idea Until It Happens To You. It's A Philosophy, And It's Got Its Own Intellectual Framework. Then There's What Happens When It's Your Photograph. Then It's Personal, And That's All I'll Say.

The Thing With My Workshops Is, Photography Is A Thoughtful Process. In An Atmosphere Of Fast Photography, And Generally Thoughtless, Quick, Automatic Photography, I Think That There Is An Interest In The Slowed Down, Thoughtful Approach.

Richard Prince's Most Famous Photograph Was Made By Me.

I Was A Consultant For Kodak Back In The Late 80's. There Were Engineers There Who Told Me That In The Future, Most Photographs Would Be Taken On Telephones. They Weren't Able To Do Anything With That. They Were Engineers, Not Management.
