I Hate Good Taste. It's The Worst

The Photographs Don't Arouse Me. All I Can Think About Is The Hard Work It Took To Make Them.

...what I Try To Do Is A Good Bad Picture. I Work It Out Very Carefully, And Then I Do Something That Looks As If It Went Wrong.

It Began When I Was So Ill That There Was A Good Chance Of Dying. I Promised Myself That If I Survived I Would Never Again Pander To A Magazine's Requests Or Follow The Ideas Of Art Directors. I Would Only Make Images Which Were Personal, Which Arose Out Of My Own Life.

Some People`s Photography Is An Art. Mine Is Not. If They Happen To Be Exhibited In A Gallery Or A Museum, That`s Fine. But That`s Not Why I Do Them. I`m A Gun For Hire.

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.
