When You Are On Assignment, Film Is

When I Started Working For Rolling Stone, I Became Very Interested In Journalism And Thought Maybe That's What I Was Doing, But It Wasn't.

As A Young Person, And I Know It’s Hard To Believe That I Was Shy, But You Could Take Your Camera, And It Would Take You To Places: It Was Like Having A Friend, Like Having Someone To Go Out With And Look At The World. I Would Do Things With A Camera I Wouldn’t Do Normally If I Was Just By Myself.

Everyone Keeps Asking You For Pictures, And After A While You Get Tired Of That. I Always Say, They Are In The Archives.

I Was Out There With The White House Press Squad, And After His Helicopter Took Off, And The Carpet Rolled Up...this Wasn't A Photograph That Others Were Taking, But I Continued To Take Pictures.

When I'm Asked About My Work, I Try To Explain That There Is No Mystery Involved. It Is Work. But Things Happen All The Time That Are Unexpected, Uncontrolled, Unexplainable, Even Magical. The Work Prepares You For That Moment. Suddenly The Clouds Roll In And The Soft Light You Longed For Appears.
