    Link: It’s no secret that I am drawn to the square format. I shoot with a Hassleblad, a twin lens Rolleiflex, a Holga and Diana. I recently purchased a Mamiya 7ii but haven’t fully welcomed it into the fold. So when I see square images, especially stunning ones, it makes me very happy. The other…

    Link: Aperture has long been a – maybe the – beacon of American photobook publishing.

    Link: Categorizing photography is controversial. For example, the category of ‘photojournalism’, in my opinion, is an exceedingly narrow definition. It traditionally demanded that photography be defined as close to events as they unfolded avoiding interpretation. When I started working with GEO in the 70’s, it meant something extremely narrow and factual, and today we might,…

    Link: If you look through my total number of my photographic work, you’ll see that a lot of it is intimate. I call it “outside to the inside”. I don’t photograph stories, my photographs take on a mood, and have a cumulative effect, but there isn’t a beginning a middle and an end. It’s not…

    Link: I never imagined that going to Coney Island in 1970 to photograph, at the suggestion of my teacher at the time, Ben Fernandez, would ever result in going back for 40 years to shoot there. I’d call anyone either crazy or a genius for doing anything photographic that long. And I know I’m not…

    Link: I don’t think I’m looking for certain things. It is more the other way around, that something grabs my attention. There are times when my senses are totally focused on what’s going on around me, like someone just put me on a drug that intensifies everything.
