My Work Is About My

In The West, People Tend To Look At Life As Spectators, But In The East, People Are The Thing.

If I Was Concerned About Being Accepted, I Would Have Been Doing Ansel Adams Lookalikes, Because That Was Easily Accepted. Everything I Did Was Never Accepted...but Luckily For Me, My Interest In The Subject And My Passion For The Subject Took Me To The Point That I Wasn't Wounded By That, And Eventually, People Came Around To Me.

Usually When Painters Use Photographs, They Enlarge And Copy Them And Simply Make A Large, Boring Painting Of A Large, Boring Photograph.

Most Photographs, To Me, Are Description, But They Lack Insight.

I Think Photographs Should Be Provocative And Not Tell You What You Already Know. It Takes No Great Powers Or Magic To Reproduce Somebody's Face In A Photograph. The Magic Is In Seeing People In New Ways.
