“I am at war with the obvious.”
“People always want to know when something was taken, where it was taken, and , God knows, why it was taken. It gets really ridiculous. I mean, they're right there, whatever they are.”
“I don't have a burning desire to go out and document anything. It just happens when it happens. It's not a conscious effort, nor is it a struggle. Wouldn't do it if it was. The idea of the suffering artist has never appealed to me. Being here is suffering enough.”
“I only ever take one picture of one thing. Literally. Never two. So then that picture is taken and then the next one is waiting somewhere else.”
“The way I have always looked at it is the world is in color. And there's nothing we can do about that.”
