The great thing about this thing we call art is that it has no rules.
From Kim Weston
No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.
I think all photographers fit their vision to their personality.
I don't need the money I generate from photography to support myself.
I photographed rocks and trees and tide pools and nudes and all that stuff for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the studio and never have to travel.
In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.
You work on an idea, your first interpretation is very raw and you work it and you work it and it gets polished and polished. It gets to a certain level and then it comes down off that peak.
As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.
I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me.
Growing up, I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives.
