I think there's a tremendous amount of unacknowledged hostility in American culture.

I grew up looking at Edward Weston and Henri Cartier-Bresson,

Everyone contributed. This was a big win for us. We've been working really hard and we have some big goals for this year.
ball good hope job kid man shoot shot sure
When we put the other Tillman kid in there, he's not a very good man player. But he does a good job in the zone. We had to hope they didn't shoot the ball well. I'm sure they've shot it better.
I know that if I were to take ugly photographs, no one would be interested in looking at them.
accessible ideas life role society work
I only want to work with transparent ideas and accessible technologies that 'spotlight' the individual's role in society through creativity. I try to live an open-source life.

I wasn't interested in politics. My attitude about it was, I can't make a difference no matter what I do. And the truth is, I don't even care enough to try.

denying history
American culture is not about experiencing our shame, it's about denying it. It's been that way our whole history.

One culture I find fascinating to juxtapose against American culture is the culture of Germany. They've gone through a long process through their art, poetry, public discourse, their politics, of owning the fact of their complicity in what happened in World War II. It's still a topic of everyday conversation in Germany.
