I learned you have to fight for yourself in the picture business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I fight to take a good photograph every single time.
Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.
I've learned a lot about how people have to fight through their whole lives just to be themselves.
I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.
Every picture has its own demands, and every picture stimulates something within you to tell it a certain way. I don't know what that is; I don't think too much about that.
I've never made any picture, good or bad, without paying for it in emotional turmoil.
I never really address myself to any image anybody has of me. That's like fighting with ghosts.
Since I've started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect, self confidence and self control.
Photographs speak to me, and I obey.
I've always had a great respect for the picture business. It's been good to me.
