It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators. ↗

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into. ↗

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution. ↗

When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without. ↗

In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice. ↗

I'm a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor. ↗

I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead. ↗

All pictures are unnatural. All pictures are sad because they're about dead people. Paintings you don't think of in a special time or with a specific event. With photos I always think I'm looking at something dead. ↗

Actors are hard to photograph because they never want to reveal who they are. You don't know if you're getting a character from a Chekhov play or a Polanski film. It depends what mood they're in. ↗

The train we had so confidently boarded had been speeding at almost 100 miles an hour and it had derailed. Someone, I can't remember who, showed me a newspaper photograph of the carriage we had been sitting in tilted on its side on a station platform next to a large notice that said Welcome to Potters Bar. ↗
