My dad's mission for me has always been to be a man they would write about, somebody that can be respected in the world.

Nothing is ever the same twice because everything is always gone forever, and yet each moment has infinite photographic possibilities.

I often think of my work as visual haiku. It is an attempt to evoke and suggest through as few elements as possible rather than to describe with tremendous detail.

I gravitate towards places where humans have been and are no more, to the edge of man's influence, where the elements are taking over or covering man's traces.

We see in colour all the time. Everything around us is in colour. Black and white is therefore immediately an interpretation of the world, rather than a copy.

Perhaps most intriguing of all is that it is possible to photograph what is impossible for the human eye to see - cumulative time.

The golden rule in the arts, as far as I am concerned, is that all rules are meant to be broken.

I believe that photographers should be passionate, determined, disciplined and ready to seek out their own styles and identities.

Parks and gardens are the quintessential intimate landscapes. People use them all the time, leaving their energy and memories behind. It's what's left behind that I like to photograph.

I don't have anything against colour. It is just not my first preference. I have always found black and white photographs to be quieter and more mysterious than those made in colour.

I prefer to think of photography as a never ending journey with infinite possibilities. I love to return to places to re photograph. Nothing is ever the same. The options are endless.

The Dark Knight 2008, favourite character Joker always in the right face and showing all humans in one character. A character died from characters!

Our rights are interconnected and inseparable. When freedom of expression is threatened, the rights to freedom of association and assembly, of thought, conscience and religion, are also compromised.

…everything has a narrative, really, and if you can’t understand a story and relate to it, figure out how you fit inside it, you’re not really alive at all.

Passionate living is the soul of success.

I mean a racist, hate-filled host who is openly trying to get people to be violent would have zero viewers in the America I know and love.

I'm not saying all seniors should be running a city or running a business, but I am saying seniors are good for a lot more than simply running a bath, baking cookies or babysitting grandchildren.

I believe that time destroys everything. You can take one beautiful apple, red. After a while, it becomes shrivelled and full of worms, just like what happens to us

At first we hope too much and later on, not enough.

I hate being forced to do things. I hate people telling me what to do, so I'll do the complete opposite. It's a bit self-destructive sometimes.

The devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape and pointy horns. He comes as everything you've ever wished for.
