• Para mí, la fotografía documental significa hacer una foto de forma que el espectador no piense en el hombre que la hizo. En su núcleo estético hay una tradición muy antigua en el arte: el naturalismo. Y su propósito es documentar todas las facetas de las relaciones sociales.

• As photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs. Move on objects with your eye straight on, to the left, around on the right.

• Producing a photographic document involves preparation in excess. There is first the examination of the idea of the project. Then the visits to the scene, the casual conversations, and more formal interviews - talking, and listening, and looking, looking. ... And finally, the pictures themselves, each one planned, talked, taken and examined in terms of the whole.

• ¿Cuál es el tema de este mundo aparentemente tan personal? Se ha sugerido que estas formas e imágenes son personajes del inframundo, los habitantes del vasto reino común de los recuerdos que han descendido por debajo del nivel de control consciente. Puede que lo sean. El grado de implicación emocional y la cantidad de asociación libre con el material fotografiado apuntarían en esa dirección.
