What I'm Interested In Is Modern American

Typically I See It With Photographers Who Go To A Place Like India Or Nepal, And Everything's So Colorful And Exotic And They Think, Therefore, A Picture's Been Taken.

My Least Favorite Photographer To Have Would Be Myself. Someone Who Wanted A Career At National Geographic. Because It's Almost Mathematically Impossible To Achieve That.

Essentially What Photography Is Is Life Lit Up.

The Reason I Don't Want To Say Anything About It Is It Has A Strange Power To Take Over The Conversation. Just Like It's Doing With Us. I Was Asked To Participate In A Documentary About Richard Prince, And Be The Voice Of Someone Who Was Appropriated, And I Declined. The Reason I Did Is I Don't Want It To Be The Subject Of The Discussion Of My Work.

I Think Of Myself As A Writer Who Photographs. Images, For Me, Can Be Considered Poems, Short Stories Or Essays. And I've Always Thought The Best Place For My Photographs Was Inside Books Of My Own Creation.
