Photography was so perfectly suited to my sensibility and situation, it gave me a voice, a kind of crazy, out-of-whack voice, at the beginning, but a voice.
It’s important to me to have what I photograph undergo a certain transformation – to become a thing different from what we are used to, to be another version of itself.
A photograph is a photograph. When I am making a picture I am just interested in making a very interesting photograph. I don’t care where it’s going to go.
The thing that makes me want to make pictures now is just looking without many prejudices. The stuff right under your eyes is the most wonderful universe
I started making photographs as if I were a child myself. This got me to look at things more closely, more slowly, and from vantage points I hadn’t considered before.
![Abelardo Morell Quote - …the very basics of photography [can] be potent and strange. So why not make pictures about the medium itself and see where they would take me?](https://minimalistquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/the-very-basics-of-photography-can-be-potent-and-s-683x1024.jpg)
