Tags: American, Country, SeriousI wanted to travel from the beginning. As a kid, I used to dream about airplanes, before I ever flew in one.
Tags: Dream, Travel, WantedI was fascinated by my own prom pictures.
Tags: Fascinated, Pictures, PromI'm a documentary photographer. That's what I've always wanted to be; that's where my heart and soul is.
Tags: Heart, Soul, WantedI'm just interested in what makes a photograph.
Tags: Interested, Makes, PhotographNowadays shots are created in post-production, on computers. It's not really photography.
Tags: Computers, Nowadays, ShotsOne of my all-time favorite photographers is Irving Penn. I wish I could have watched him work.
Tags: Him, Wish, WorkPhotograph the world as it is. Nothing's more interesting than reality.
Tags: Photograph, RealityReality is always extraordinary.
Tags: RealityThe obsessions we have are pretty much the same our whole lives. Mine are people, the human condition, life.
Tags: Human, Life, PrettyUsually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.
Tags: Ideas, Society, WorkI just think it's important to be direct and honest with people about why you're photographing them and what you're doing. After all, you are taking some of their soul.
Tags: After, Soul, WhyI really knew when I started photographing I wanted it to be a way of knowing different cultures, not just in other countries but in this country, too, and I knew I wanted to be a voyeur.
Tags: Country, Knowing, WantedI work in colour sometimes, but I guess the images I most connect to, historically speaking, are in black and white. I see more in black and white - I like the abstraction of it.
Tags: Black, Sometimes, WorkI'm not against digital photography. It's great for newspapers. And there are photographers doing great work digitally. When they use Photoshop as a darkroom tool, that's fine, too. But at this point of my life, after so many years, I don't really want to change, and I still love film.
Tags: Change, Life, LoveIf I hadn't become a photographer, I would have loved to become a doctor. I would have loved to have done something that actually helped people and changed their lives.
Tags: Become, Done, LivesSometimes I work on film sets. I've done this for 40 years. I always wanted to photograph on the set of an Ingmar Bergman film. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity.
