 Any nude is a something you setup in front of the camera. |
| My surprises come usually once I start rolling and photographing. |
| To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step. |
| That's not to say that some day I won't go outside again, but I'm having a great time working on this process. |
| Growing up, I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives. |
| No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do. |
| What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything. |
| I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part. |
| It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're fulfilling that inner need, and for me the need is more the process than the finished product. My photographs are stories of the process. |
| The great thing about this thing we call art is that it has no rules. |
| I just love photographing. I don't do it for anyone else. |
| I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me. |
| I don't know, the older I get, the more complicated I think I get, which is a hindrance. |
| I don't think at that time I realized how important it was and how important it was for me to be here and carry on that legacy in our family of being a photographer. |
| Galleries, and they're all the same, and rightly so, they sell work. |
