I Was Lucky To Have My Wife

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

Technically, I Have Not Changed Very Much. Ask My Assistants. They'll Tell You, I Am The Easiest Photographer To Work With. I Don't Have Heavy Equipment. I Work Out Of One Bag.

In The Photographs Themselves There's A Definite Contrast Between The Figures And The Location - I Like That Kind Of California Backyard Look; Clapboard Houses, Staircases Outdoors.

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.

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.
