dream dancer body
All dancers are, by and large, a photographer's dream. They communicate with their bodies and they are trained to be completely responsive to a collaborative situation.
thinking artist talking
What I learned from Lennon was something that did stay with me my whole career, which is to be very straightforward. I actually love talking about taking pictures, and I think that helps everyone.
artist talking needs
I still need the camera because it is the only reason anyone is talking to me.
taken responsibility artist
I feel a responsibility to my backyard. I want it to be taken care of and protected.
artist would-be different
I am impressed with what happens when someone stays in the same place and you took the same picture over and over and it would be different, every single frame.
two-worlds looks photographer
My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.
photography thinking computer
Computer photography won't be photography as we know it. I think photography will always be chemical.
differences photographer subtle
A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.
artist choices environmental
My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.
communication thinking artist
There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.
artist cameras photographer
When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.
hard-work successful people
Most people, especially successful people, are hard-working. They want to participate. They want to do things well.
believe shy looks
As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.
views may rooms
In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view. The image may not be literally what's going on, but it's representative.
