The first thing I do when I get up is I look out the window. I've been looking at the same image for six years. It's imprinted in my mind like an afterimage template.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try to get out of an image's way in order to let it articulate what is hidden.
In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.
Sometimes if I can't sleep and I am up in the night, I will start researching things - it could be an image I've seen, or a book I am reading.
When I designed my loft, I literally framed the World Trade Center as a picture postcard I could see from my bed. I no longer have that image, and I mourn it.
I make images from things I find serendipitously. I don't know what it is, but I know it when I see it. It could be from a newspaper, on the street. It could be something I fell over.
I start a picture and I finish it.
Once I've taken photographs, I look at them, and I get into them, and I'm there for the moment - and then that's it. I find little time for reflection.
My process of working is that I don't create a picture, I find it.
Once I make a picture, I never look at it again.
I look at my pictures, and I think, 'Well, how did I do that?'
