Quotations

  • The camera, the split-second blink of the shutter, taught me that time does not pass. It is we who pass. We pass through time and we waste only ourselves. Time is indifferent to us and to our folly. Time remains the one certainty we have, the fixed and constant factor-more concrete than life, more permanent than space.
Artist statement
Art is my beginning and my end.
It is everything I do—my morning, my noon, and my night.
Art is my confessor and my salvation.
It is each photograph I shoot, each novel, poem, and film I write.
Art defines what the photograph is, just as the photograph defines who I am; in the same way the words I craft tell the secrets of my heart.
Art is my Bible, my Constitution.
Art is my God and my devil.
Art is everything I am, all I want to be.
It will be my epitaph.
