“I was attracted to photography because it was technical, full of gadgets, and I was obsessed with science. But at some point around fifteen or sixteen,”

That’s why I like to work with the photogram, because the contact with what is represented is actual.

It’s what we see every day in the magazines, on billboards and even on television.

I had a sense that photography could provide a bridge from the world of science to the world of art, or image.

Photography was a means of crossing into a new place I didn’t know.

It’s as if the border between the world and the print is osmotic.

I’m saying there are many, many other ways to produce photographic imagery, and I would imagine that a lot of them have yet to be explored.

We’re so conditioned to the syntax of the camera that we don’t realize that we are running on only half the visual alphabet…

All those images are being produced basically the same way, through a lens and a camera.

An echo is a good way to describe the photogram, which is a visual echo of the real object

There is a lot you can find out about yourself through knowing about history. I have always been attracted to things that are old. I have just always found such things interesting and compelling.

Part of what attracted me to the village was it had a lot of parallels to contemporary issues.

Chicks love dudes who are successful who happen to have money – do you know what I mean? Chicks are attracted to dudes that are doing their own thing.
