american-photographer angles avoid certain evidence original people shoot
Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that. I don't shoot that any more.
beautiful thinking different
Different members of different cultures will think that some things are beautiful.
artist focus involved
Any artist that's involved in their work is inevitably going to have a focus in what they do.
two people photograph
I don't photograph any two people who are remotely the same.
beach thinking people
I'll go to do a shoot, I'll spend five or six hours at the beach with people, and when people think I'm all out of film, then they really relax and I get my good pictures.
strange physical-beauty strange-things
Physical beauty is such a strange thing.
taken people photograph
All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.
children real artist
What pedophiles and people who have sexual desires on children lose sight of to a terrible, terrible degree - a devastating degree - is that their victims are real people who will suffer forever whatever abuses are perpetrated on them.
beautiful thinking people
Some of the people that I photographed as sticks became much more voluptuous, much rounder, in some cases dramatically so, and I think they're even more beautiful.
country art museums
If it gets to the Supreme Court, I'll have the directors of every museum in the country as expert testimony that my work is legitimate art.
two people information
No two people take on the information of being admirable and being admired in the same way.
government irony ends
It's no small irony that the government inevitably and invariably ends up promoting precisely that which they would most like to repress.
practice consumption one-for-me
That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion.
ambition interesting people
That's my ambition: that you look at the pictures and realize what complex, fascinating, interesting people every single one of my subjects is.
