I always give a print to everybody I photograph, and some of my subjects have told me they have a hard time hanging them up at home.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't hang any pictures in my office for a year because I thought that I would be jinxing myself and have to take them down the next day.
I try to use whatever I know about photography to be of service to the people I'm photographing.
One of my great goals when I first started taking photographs or showing them publicly is that people might want one for over their desk. That's my goal.
I'm always taking pictures and travelling with a camera and have so many photos that I've done a book.
You get a lot of people requesting photographs but I tend to keep myself to myself, pull my cap down.
I keep three framed photographs on my desk: the latest school picture of my daughter; a photo of my wife getting her diploma from the University of Chicago; and Lytton Strachey, looking serenely self-possessed.
Seeing your work in print is exciting, especially when you're young. It's that feeling that you have some effect on the world outside of your immediate neighbourhood.
I'll always write picture books - it's just what I do. I'd even do it if I wasn't being paid.
I get into all sorts of trouble with my publicists and with newspapers because I won't do photographs.
Even at home, I don't have pictures on the wall of jobs I've done.
