Wisdom worth sharing, words worth remembering.
All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead.
The skull is nature's sculpture.
It is a sign of a dull nature to occupy oneself deeply in matters that concern the body for instance to be over much occupied about exercise about eating and drinking about easing oneself about sexual intercourse.
I'm not mad about movies there are too many people involved in the making of them and they lack a definitive creative focus.
London changes because of money. It's real estate. If they can build some offices or expensive apartments they will it's money that changes everything in a city.
In New York everyone's desperate for success desperate for money and desperate to be accepted but in London they're more laid back about things like that.
Photography is more about money now but then so are most things.
To get rich you have to be making money while you're asleep.
I was surrounded by strong women so it had never even occurred to me that women were anything other than equal to men.
I love learning new techniques.
When I stop working I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture or whatever they do and go home. For me it has to be continuous.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.
