I have boxes of pictures that nothing is ever going to happen to. Even Public Relations. I mean, I was going to events long before, and I still am.
I don't think of it as difficult. It would be difficult if I were carrying something heavy, but I carry Leicas. You can't talk about it that way. I'm not operating a shovel and getting tired.
All I'm doing is photographing. When I was working on The Animals, I was working on a lot of other things too. I kept going to the zoo because things were going on in certain pictures. It wasn't a project.
I don't know if I'm really the fastest. It doesn't matter.
It's a lot of work organizing something, whether it's a show or a book, and I don't want to do it every day.
Surviving, that's all. That's all I have in mind .
I'm surviving. I'm a survivor.
When I'm photographing, I don't have that kind of nonsense running around in my head. I'm photographing. It's irrelevant in the end, so it doesn't mean a thing. It's not going to make me do better work or worse work as I can see it now.
I was able to work with two heads. If anything, doing ads and other commercial work were at least exercises in discipline.
There's all kinds of people teaching who don't do anything worth a nickel. Likewise in advertising.
I'm a New Yorker. Matter of fact, the more I'm in places like Texas and California, the more I know I'm a New Yorker. I have no confusions. About that.
I'm living in Los Angeles for a couple of years. I've been a gypsy for quite a while. It'll come to an end. I'm going to come back to New York.
Los Angeles has interested me for a long time. I was in Texas for five years, for the same reason. I wanted to photograph there.
I may very well move in. I just don't know. I can't sit here and know what pictures I'm going to take.
I'll come back to New York. I think I'll start focusing in more on the entertainment business. I have been doing some of that already, all kinds of monkey business. But I'm all over the place, literally.
I enjoy photographing. It's always interesting, so I can't say one thing is more fun than another. Everything has it's own difficulties.
Aside from women, I don't know. My work doesn't function the way Robert Frank's did.
Language is basic to all of our existences in this world. We depend on it.
A pun calls the meaning of a word into question, and it upsets us tremendously. We laugh because suddenly we find out we're not going to get killed. I think a lot of things work that way with photographs.
Let's say that what's out there is a narrative. Often enough, the picture plays with the question of what actually is happening. Almost the way puns function.
I generally deal with something happening.
Certainly, you know, you can always learn from some - from somebody else's - from some intelligence. I think. I hope.
Nobody exists in a vacuum.
It's the easiest thing in the world to do that, to make successful photographs. It's a bore.
I certainly never wanted to be a photographer to bore myself. It's no fun - life is too short.
