art
What I'm good at is making art.
occupy-yourself body might
My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.
artist clothes left
They were without clothes before I got there, and they were without clothes when I left.
sensual birth truth-is
The truth is that from birth on we are, to one extent or another, a fairly sensual species.
photograph harm
But empirically I've come to understand that my photographs really don't do any harm.
thinking body photograph
Before, I'd photograph anything. I didn't think there was anything more or less obscene about any part of the body.
children two yesterday
I just yesterday returned from a trip where I photographed a woman with two children whom I photographed first when she was the age of the older of the two children.
growing-up children book
Every child is going to grow up. You can see it happen in the books: They get older and older and belong to themselves to a greater and greater extent.
body evolution humans
I am fascinated by the human body and all its evolutions.
want guilty abandon
I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.
denial found apartment
I found myself serving a sentence of public denial from the very second the raid on my apartment happened.
erotic sensual birth
I will always admit immediately to what's obvious, which is that Homo sapiens is inherently erotic or inherently sensual from birth.
thinking sensual degrees
But the truth is that Homo sapiens is a sensual species. I think all species are, to one degree or another.
birthday artist age
We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.
