Art Functioning As Propaganda Is

I Think About Myself As Like An Ocean Liner That's Been Going Full Speed For A Long Distance, And The Captain Pulls The Throttle Back All The Way To 'stop', But The Ship Doesn't Stop Immediately. It Has Its Own Momentum And It Keeps On Going, And I'm Very Flattered That People Are Still Finding Me Useful.

For A Period Of Time, I Carried Cameras With Me Wherever I Went, And Then I Realized That My Interest In Photography Was Turning Toward The Conceptual. So I Wasn't Carrying Around Cameras Shooting Stuff, I Was Developing Concepts About What I Wanted To Shoot. And Then I'd Get The Camera Angle And Do The Job

Years Ago - In The 70s, For About A Decade - I Carried A Camera Every Place I Went. And I Shot A Lot Of Pictures That Were Still Life And Landscape, Using Available Light.

The Needs Of The Many Outweigh The Needs Of The Few.

If You Are Walking Down The Street, Camera In Your Hand, Loaded And Ready To Shoot. You See A Person Falling From A High Building, Either Having Fallen Or Jumped. That Person Is Falling Through Space. You Don't Shoot That Photograph Unless The Theme You Are Working On Has To Do With The Effects Of Space On The Human Figure. If You Simply Photograph That Event Because It Is An Event That Is Happening, You're Doing Photojournalism.
