generating work
The gallery is generating work for the masses.
finished fulfilling inner stories
It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're fulfilling that inner need, and for me the need is more the process than the finished product. My photographs are stories of the process.
essence eventually next putting
To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.
famous felt
I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.
rightly work
Galleries, and they're all the same, and rightly so, they sell work.
great outside time
That's not to say that some day I won't go outside again, but I'm having a great time working on this process.
classic deciding model models playing work
I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.
dad except helped involved print second work
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.
information record
I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me.
front setup
Any nude is a something you setup in front of the camera.
amount
As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.
certain gets polished raw work
You work on an idea, your first interpretation is very raw and you work it and you work it and it gets polished and polished. It gets to a certain level and then it comes down off that peak.
found pools rocks studio stuff travel until
I photographed rocks and trees and tide pools and nudes and all that stuff for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the studio and never have to travel.
alone digital essence fast matter stands
No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.
