Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

Photography takes an instant out of time altering life by holding it still.

Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.

You don't take a photograph you make it.

My interest in architecture has always been sculptural. Most of my photography is of architecture.

I mean certainly writing painting photography dance architecture there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people real street scenes behind the curtain scenes live models paintings photographs staged setups architecture grids graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.

Most photographers work best alone myself included.

Photography can never grow up if it imitates some other medium. It has to walk alone it has to be itself.

Photography alone of the arts seems perfected to serve the desire humans have for a moment - this very moment - to stay.
