Like all photographers, I depend on serendipity I pray for what might be referred to as the angel of chance.

I like to make people a little uncomfortable. It encourages them to examine who they are and why they think the way they do.

Photographs open doors into the past, but they also alloq a look into the future

The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best.

It's always been my philosophy to try to make art out of the everyday and ordinary...it never occurred to me to leave home to make art.

I think truth is a layered phenomenon. There are many truths that accumulate and build up. I am trying to peel back and explore these rich layers of truth. All truths are difficult to reach.

Unless you photograph what you love, you're not going to make good art.

Photographs supplant and corrupt the past, all the while creating their own memories.

What is truth in photography? It can be told in a hundred different ways. Every thirtieth of a second when the shutter snaps, its capturing a different piece of information.

It is easier for me to take ten good pictures in an airplane bathroom than in the gardens at Versailles.

I’m so worried that I’m going to perfect [my] technique someday. I have to say its unfortunate how many of my pictures do depend upon some technical error.

Your dreams don’t stop being dreams because of circumstances.

He that fears not the future may enjoy the present.

Where unwilling dies the rose Buds the new another year.

You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.

I discovered that maybe it was fate all along, that faith was just an illusion that somehow you're in control.

I do not propose to be buried until I am dead.

Well, wouldn't it have been easier if she'd just asked me whether I liked her better than you?" "Girls don't often ask questions like that," said Hermione. "Well, they should!" said Harry forcefully.

I see a huge paradox in me - the intense need to be loved and the search for approval juxtaposed with the need to nurture other people, to be the mother I never had.

People deal with me, but they are genuinely fond of Prim. Maybe there will be enough fondness to keep her alive.

I can give the loser leave to chide.
