There is always a time in any series or work where you get to a certain point and your work is going steadily and each picture is better than the next and then you sort of level off and that’s when you realize that it’s not that each picture is better than the next but that each picture ups the ante, that every time you take one picture, the next one has got to be better.

As an artist your trajectory just has to keep going up. And the thing that most subverts your next good body of work is all the work you’ve taken before. All the good pictures that came so easily now make the next set of pictures virtually impossible in your mind.

Until you actually set up the camera, it’s so funny you don’t see the picture; until you commit the camera to it, and then it suddenly, something that was just a feeling turns into a photograph. It’s the oddest phenomena.
