Trust that little voice in your head that says 'Wouldn't it be interesting if...'; And then do it.
Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.
I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody's face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.
I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.
