The Question Of Truth Is Forever In

I Still Find Doing Portraits A Terrific Challenge, But Even Though I've Done Hundreds Of Them, I've Never Stopped Questioning The Very Nature Of Portraiture Because It Deals Exclusively With Appearances. I've Never Believed People Are What They Look Like And Think It's Impossible To Really Know What People Are.

I Believe In The Invisible. I Do Not Believe In The Definitive Reality Of Things Around Us. For Me, Reality Is The Intuition And The Imagination And The Quiet Voice Inside My Head That Says: Isn't That Extraordinary? The Things In Our Lives Are The Shadows Of Reality, Just As We Ourselves Are Shadows.

I Don't Get Straight People, But I Understand What They Look Like.

Art Has To Address Eternal Issues.

Photography Does Deal With 'truth' Or A Kind Of Superficial Reality Better Than Any Of The Other Arts, But It Never Questions The Nature Of Reality - It Simply Reproduces Reality. And What Good Is That When The Things Of Real Value In Life Are Invisible?
