My only rule: I never photographed the face of the dead, ever, out of respect for the families.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like a decent funeral, and God knows in my family we've seen enough of them. Looking through family photographs now is like watching an episode of 'Dad's Army.'
I do not see my family life in any way, shape, or form as an opportunity for a photo.
I know the families that I photograph extremely well, and I've known them for a very long time.
I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.
I'm not comfortable being photographed, though I accept it is part of the job.
No journalist has ever been in my house and no photographs have ever been taken of where I live. I don't parade my family out for display, which is the way it will stay.
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
The few people who ask to have their photographs with me, I almost always say yes, except for a few circumstances, like when my family is around.
I have never seen a picture of my mother. My mother's family never owned a photograph of her, which tells you everything you need to know about where I'm from and what the world was like for the people who gave me life.
I never really had to deal with a death in the family, let alone my brother.
