I Think All Families Are

For Me, The Subject Of The Picture Is Always More Important Than The Picture.

Freaks Was A Thing I Photographed A Lot. It Was One Of The First Things I Photographed And It Had A Terrific Kind Of Excitement For Me. I Just Used To Adore Them. I Still Do Adore Some Of Them. I Don't Quite Mean They're My Best Friends But They Made Me Feel A Mixture Of Shame And Awe.

One Thing That Struck Me Early Is That You Don’t Put Into A Photograph What’s Going To Come Out. Or, Vice Versa, What Comes Out Is Not What You Put In.

I Always Thought Of Photography As A Naughty Thing To Do - That Was One Of My Favorite Things About It, And When I First Did It, I Felt Very Perverse.

We Stand On A Precipice, Then Before A Chasm, And As We Wait It Becomes Higher, Wider, Deeper, But I Am Crazy Enough To Think It Doesn't Matter Which Way We Leap Because When We Leap We Will Have Learned To Fly. Is That Blasphemy Or Faith?
