work
I've done a lot of commercial work. I'm the complete photographer.
absolutely commercial five museum seconds shows survive work
There are those photographers who have made a whole career doing commercial work but have never had a museum show, and then there are others who've only had museum shows but couldn't survive for five seconds in the real world of photography. But I've done absolutely everything.
art air people
The question of truth is forever in the air, and people look for it with particular fervor in art.
believe eye focus
The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. They believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.
art world just-being
I'm very hard on the art world just being a big business.
beautiful running real
If you look at a photograph, and you think, 'My isn't that a beautiful photograph,' and you go on to the next one, or 'Isn't that nice light?' so what? I mean what does it do to you or what's the real value in the long run? What do you walk away from it with? I mean, I'd much rather show you a photograph that makes demands on you, that you might become involved in on your own terms or be perplexed by.
art school contradiction
You can’t teach art, so ART SCHOOL is a contradiction in terms.
