When I Started Working For

It's A Heavy Weight, The Camera. Now We Have Modern And Lightweight, Small Plastic Cameras, But In The '70s They Were Heavy Metal.

When You Are Younger, The Camera Is Like A Friend And You Can Go Places And Feel Like You're With Someone, Like You Have A Companion.

I’ve Said About A Million Times That The Best Thing A Young Photographer Can Do Is To Stay Close To Home. Start With Your Friends And Family, The People Who Will Put Up With You. Discover What It Means To Be Close To Your Work, To Be Intimate With A Subject. Measure The Difference Between That And Working With Someone You Don't Know As Much About. Of Course There Are Many Good Photographs That Have Nothing To Do With Staying Close To Home, And I Guess What I'm Really Saying Is That You Should Take Pictures Of Something That Has Meaning For You

I Was Scared To Do Anything In The Studio Because It Felt So Claustrophobic. I Wanted To Be Somewhere Where Things Could Happen And The Subject Wasn't Just Looking Back At You.

Photography's Like This Baby That Needs To Be Fed All The Time. It's Always Hungry.
