If It Makes You Cry, It Goes

You Have Trust In What You Think. If You Splinter Yourself And Try To Please Everyone, You Can’t. It’s Important To Stay The Course. I Don’t Think I Would Have Lasted This Long If I’d Listened To Anyone. You Have To Listen Somewhat And Then Put That To The Side And Know That What You Do Matters.

I Feel A Responsibility To My Backyard. I Want It To Be Taken Care Of And Protected.

Sometimes I Enjoy Just Photographing The Surface Because I Think It Can Be As Revealing As Going To The Heart Of The Matter.

There's An Idea That It's Hard To Be A Woman Artist. People Assume That Women Have Fewer Opportunities, Less Power. But It's Not Any Harder To Be A Woman Artist Than To Be A Male Artist. We All Take What We Are Given And Use The Parts Of Ourselves That Feed The Work. We Make Our Way. Photographers, Men And Women, Are Particularly Lucky. Photography Lets You Find Yourself. It Is A Passport To People And Places And To Possibilities.
