photograph evidence
[A photograph] is a part of the evidence. I'm not saying it's the truth - it's part of the evidence.
missing world purpose
There are many images which I miss on purpose. I've done too many of them before and photographing them again doesn't change the world, or me.
brain intuition use
I use my intuition. I tell my students: use your brains, but also use another part of yourself.
kids gun boys
This was in San Francisco, in 1987. A bunch of kids were camped out in the Riviera Hotel - boy hustlers and their sugar daddy. One boy, Tank, showed us his gun. 'It's not loaded,' he said. He pointed the gun to his head, then out the window, and then to the ceiling. When the gun was pointed to the ceiling, he pulled the trigger and it went off. The gun was loaded after all.
