Most of my projects seem to start as exploratory journeys with no visible end in sight.

Color is very much about atmosphere and emotion and the feel of a place.

Ultimately, the reward is the process - the process of photographing and discovering and trying to understand why and what am I photographing.

The viewer is yet another eye that is part of the compact that makes a photograph what it is.

To a certain extent what I do is play with the world, but it's disciplined play.

I'm always playing along that line: adding something more, yet keeping it sort of chaos.

... the possibility of one particular photographer's pictures lying around the corner is never realized until the photographer is there. It's one of the enigmas of photography.

There is nothing around me but money, money, money.

Walt Whitman's a hell of a lot more revolutionary than any Russian poet I've ever heard of.

Nothing was quite like it was supposed to be.

I think maybe, if I could be a Canadian super hero, I'd have some kind of freezing power and some sort of maple syrup weapon. Could be a little sticky.

I just want to do cool stuff.

So, I am independently well-off and don't have to do anything, but I still do. I write books, lecture around the world, work with scientists and governments.
