I had been teaching myself photography.

I really got into filmmaking through photography.

I've been working with photography for many years.

I know about photography - I'm really good at it.

I started making little films with a 16 mm camera as an undergraduate at Yale. My first job out of college was 'assistant editor' on a forgettable low budget feature.

I chose photography over writing. I had to make a living.

I always saw photography as a way to get to film.

I used to be a photographer - and now I'm some kind of digital photographic artist.

When I was teaching at Harvard in the 1970s, I went to Project Incorporated in Cambridge and took photography classes. I didn't even know how to aim the camera in those days.

I began after college, about 1972. I began to teach myself photography. I went to work for a local newspaper for four years as a kind of basic training.
