I don’t think i’m a “good” photographer anymore. I am constantly looking for pictures that no one cares about. I dig flaws. Here we’re spoon fed visually. Beautiful light, beautiful venues.

George Bush does not want anyone feeling bad for him. Hates the idea, in fact. Why should anyone feel bad for him? He knew what he was getting into, and he is doing what he thinks is right. But as he enters the twilight of his presidency, he finds it both a liberating and a deeply frustrating time.
