The challenge in daytime in particular, I think, is to go against all the traditional cliches of daytime and try to make it real.

People regurgitate the same old cliches and it becomes like a photocopy of a photocopy of something that's vaguely interesting.

When you live by the sea, there are definite seasons when you can see the weather coming and going, which lends itself to photography.

Sunsets are great. Sunrises are a mixed bag. You either got up way too early or went to bed way too late.

I work a lot in Africa: Texas and Africa have the best sunsets on the planet, that I've ever seen.

Part of the role of photography is to exaggerate, and that is an aspect that I have to puncture. I do that by showing the world as I really find it.

So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful.

In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.

Essentially what photography is is life lit up.

Cliches are cliches because they are true.
