Growing up I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work except that I helped my dad print his negatives.

My strangest media moment a photo session they all had dressed up like 50 gangsters. That was pretty cool. We have to get some more of those kind of photos sometimes.

People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I'm this cool brooding artist. But I'm just having fun with it.

I am interested in computers and technology and art photography and design.

Nowadays shots are created in post-production on computers. It's not really photography.

You know my dad wasn't a photographer or filmmaker by profession but on Sundays he would take pictures of me and my family or his pals horseback riding and it was a means of communication and affection a means of not being so dysfunctional with each other.

There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

When I climb into my car I enter my destination into a GPS device whose spatial memory supplants my own. I have photographs to store the images I want to remember books to store knowledge and now thanks to Google I rarely have to remember anything more than the right set of search terms to access humankind's collective memory.

I would absolutely definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day not a photo shoot. And once you've done that your marriage becomes everybody else's business.

I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.
