You can't see fear or lust; you can't photograph someone's anxieties, how disappointment feels. Photographs are approximations.
From Duane Michals
I think photographers are too polite. There is not enough anger in photography; it's pretty much trivialized.
I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.
I got a lot of flak originally for writing with photographs, because the great cliche in photography is that one photograph is worth a thousand words, and photographers are usually dodo birds anyway.
All good work has magic in it, and addresses the mind in a subtle way.
Art has to address eternal issues.
Photography is very presumptuous. Photographers are always photographing other people's lives - something they know nothing about - and drawing great inferences into it.
My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient.
To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.
A lot of photographers walk around looking for something 'out there,' but I'm very much interested in what's 'in here.'
