“I’m not an equipment nut. I tend to use whatever’s at hand. I have several cameras, of course, but I’m not emotional about any of them”

I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old.

I’ve enjoyed photography, ever since I was a teenager, and I’m still at it. I’ve had shows in various cities, around the country, and I have a number of pieces in permanent collections in museums that I’m very proud of.

Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white to highlight that contrast.

The camera can capture thought in a way that’s quite surprising and shocking. You can become very simple and minimal in your work and communicate a lot with just a finger or an eyebrow, or a look, or a glance.

My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That’s why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I’m searching for, or searching to express.

After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but is often true.

But if you’re talking about fine art work, then I think you have to ask yourself some pretty deep questions about why it is you want to take pictures and what it is you want to say.

My folks came to U.S. as immigrants, aliens, and became citizens. I was born in Boston, a citizen, went to Hollywood and became an alien.

How many times have we come away from an argument wishing we had said and done something different?

I know where I’m going, and I know where I’ve been.

I think the digital cameras have changed my view. Even though sometimes, including the installations that I show, I mix 35mm filming and video handmade.

This is all you need in life: a computer, a camera, and a cat.

She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said ‘Be careful his bowtie is really a camera’

My mother was an avid readerShe loved books about romance.

I don’t use a crap camera, I don’t eat junk, and I’m not going to a dance where the boys are bores.

. You have to make sure you don’t hurt or hit someone. And hit the beats, because they have five cameras

I will never lose anything that an audience will miss
