kids artist checks
The kids really enjoy what they do. I check with them constantly to make sure that they're really happy to be there.
artist clothes left
They were without clothes before I got there, and they were without clothes when I left.
birthday artist age
We live in an age where anonymity is growing in magnitude like a bomb going off.
artist way seeing
I'm an artist that's attracted to a specific way of seeing and a way of being.
children real artist
What pedophiles and people who have sexual desires on children lose sight of to a terrible, terrible degree - a devastating degree - is that their victims are real people who will suffer forever whatever abuses are perpetrated on them.
artist focus involved
Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.
american-photographer angles avoid certain evidence original people shoot
Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that. I don't shoot that any more.
views use toys
I use an 8 x 10 view camera. All other cameras are just toys.
taken photograph misinterpretation
There are photographs that I don't take now that I previously would have taken without any thought at all as to any misinterpretations.

The world is shrinking as we see more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how insignificant any one of us is.
people photograph transactions
The transactions between me and the people that I photograph are very, very collaborative.
mother children pregnancy
The images I like best are parts of series that I've started, in some cases, with the pregnancies of the mothers of the children in question, and I continue that series right on through the birth of children to the child that resulted from that first pregnancy.
ambition interesting people
That's my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.
practice consumption one-for-me
That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion.
