I admire photographers that don't need a destination. In some ways, street photography is like that. There's a quality of wanderlust for sure in my work, but I need a destination.

If you want to be a creative person, then you’re gonna have to be creative in how you put your career together. There isn’t a path. Part of the creativity is making your path.

I fell in love with the process of taking pictures, with wandering around finding things. To me it feels like a kind of performance. The picture is a document of that performance.

I always say that photography's closest cousin is poetry because of the way it sparks your imagination and leaves gaps for the viewer to fill in.

The people that I photographed allowed me to photograph them because they didn't want to be alone, and the truth is I didn't want to be alone making the pictures.

Photography is a very lonely medium. There’s a kind of beautiful loneliness in voyeurism. And that’s why I’m a photographer.

I'm a project-based photographer; I think in narrative terms, the way a writer thinks of a book, or a filmmaker a film.

[Photography is] very related to poetry. It's suggestive and fragmentary and unsatisfying in a lot of ways. It's as much about what you leave out as what you put in.

For me, the act of photography is all about discovery and finding new things.

For me, photography is as much about the way I respond to the subject as it is about the subject itself.

Nobody really wants to be alone. People need people.

Several people toss and turn in their sleep, startled by the lines of the newspapers in their dreams, knives out, lights out, lights out, knives out!

The proof of how real Jesus knew hell to be is that He came to earth to save us from it.

No one has as much luck around the greens as one who practices a lot.

I'm one of the old crabby types and younger people are perfectly happy with everything that goes on.

Clothing, right from our first direct evidence twenty thousand years ago, has been the handiest solution to conveying social messages visually, silently, continuously.

People need space to survive.

You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push.

Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.

People who don't know me are so negative about me. When they finally meet me, they change that negative into a positive.

I believe the world is as we choose to view it. Simple as that. Our happiness is, in the end, up to us, and to no one else.
