“Photography is the power of observation,and not the application of technology....”

“[Robert Rauschenberg, 1925-2008] helped to obscure the lines between painting and sculpture, painting and photography, photography and printmaking, sculpture and photography, sculpture and dance, sculpture and technology, technology and performance art — not to mention between art and life.”

“That's something that tends to happen with new technologies generally: The most interesting applications turn up on a battlefield, or in a gallery.”

“Knowledge is power? No. Knowledge on its own is nothing, but the application of useful knowledge, now that is powerful.”

“It's often about the simple things, isn't it? Painting and photography are first about seeing, they say. Writing is about observing. Technique is secondary. Sometimes the simple is the most difficult.”

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
