I never read about photography.

I never went to school for photography and started when I was pretty young. I was somewhere around 12 or 13. I started photographing as a hobby and carried that hobby through high school and university.

I never set out to be a photographer.

Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.

I would love to study photography.

I am a very keen photographer. I have enjoyed taking pictures since I was a kid with my family, but I became more serious about it at university.

Actually, when I first started dabbling in photography, I was still working for my parents as a salesman.

I don't see myself as a photographer. I still see the photographs and collages as a resource for the painting.

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.
