What I aspire to is to have the viewer look directly at the subject, as if they're looking through a window at the real thing.
There is no public out there who needs to change. It's each one of us.
Set your compass to beauty, humor, and grief; stay the course no matter what, and I'll support you with everything I've got.
My ideas tend to arise out of nowhere when I'm not intentionally trying to think of something.
I want people to realize that they matter.
I used to be a photographer - and now I'm some kind of digital photographic artist.
I think there's a tremendous amount of unacknowledged hostility in American culture.
I think of myself as a translator. I just change the dry, unfeeling language of data into a visual language that allows for feeling.
I know that if I were to take ugly photographs, no one would be interested in looking at them.
I crave to be able to photograph the way a painter paints - in a loose, expressive way.
American culture is not about experiencing our shame, it's about denying it. It's been that way our whole history.
