The Longer We Lived With It The

The Thing With My Workshops Is, Photography Is A Thoughtful Process. In An Atmosphere Of Fast Photography, And Generally Thoughtless, Quick, Automatic Photography, I Think That There Is An Interest In The Slowed Down, Thoughtful Approach.

I Will Just Say, Appropriation Is An Intellectual Idea Until It Happens To You. It's A Philosophy, And It's Got Its Own Intellectual Framework. Then There's What Happens When It's Your Photograph. Then It's Personal, And That's All I'll Say.

The Class That I Teach Is Called "the Life Of A Photograph." It Takes Up The Question, Of The Billion Photographs That Were Taken Today, How Many Will Have A Life, And Why? So The New Reality Has Made The Question More Pertinent, Not Less Pertinent.

[in The Late 80's] That's The First Time I Heard About That Astonishing Idea [that Most Photographs Would Be Taken On Telephones]. And Now I've Been Watching The Tsunami Of Images.
