Genius And Taste Don't Go Together.

I Have Always Avoided Photographing In The Studio. A Woman Does Not Spend Her Life Sitting Or Standing In Front Of A Seamless White Paper Background. Although It Makes My Life More Complicated, I Prefer To Take My Camera Out Into The Street... And Places That Are Out Of Bounds For Photographers Have Always Had A Special Attraction For Me.

I Find Myself, After All These Years, With A Built-in Safety-brake That Stops Me From Doing Certain Things. And One Of The Reasons Why I Want To Try So Called Hard Pornography - I Don't Even Know Whether It's Hard Enough - Is To See Whether I Will Be Able To Overcome This. Because If There Is One Thing I Hate, It's Good Taste, To Me It's A Dirty Word.

I Spend A Lot Of Time Preparing. I Think A Lot About What I Want To Do. I Have Prep Books, Little Notebooks In Which I Write Everything Down Before A Sitting. Otherwise I Would Forget My Ideas.

Some People's Photography Is An Art. Not Mine. Art Is A Dirty Word In Photography. All This Fine Art Crap Is Killing It Already.

The Point Of My Photography Has Always Been To Challenge Myself, To Go A Little Further Than My Germanic Discipline And Teutonic Nature Would Traditionally Permit Me To.
