I stand at a distance, like a person who comes from another world.

I read a picture not for what's really going on there, I read it more for what is going on in our world generally.

Since the photographic medium has been digitized, a fixed definition of the term photography has become impossible.

I've probably failed more often than anybody else in Silicon Valley. Those don't matter. I don't remember the failures. You remember the big successes.
