You can't be afraid to fail because that's when you learn.
My photographs are not just about the instant of movement you capture in the camera. It's much more total, about constant movement that became static.
. . . what is important is not so much what people see in the gallery or the museum, but what people see after looking at these things, how they confront reality again. Really great art regenerates the perception of reality; the reality becomes richer, better or not, just different.
I believe that a small action or a subtle gesture in life can change many, many things.
I try always to intimate with the world… with everything I can, to feel love for it, or interest in it. To be intimate you have to open yourself, to be fearless, to trust what is around you, animate and inanimate. Then you start to change the scale of things, of the public and private.
We normally consider stability to be the constant in life and accidents to be the exception, but it's exactly the opposite. In reality, the accident is the rule and stability is the exception.
Photography is more than a window for me. Photography is more like a space that tries to capture situations.
I just do what I do because it feels right. Other people attach labels to that.

I think when a society has such a profoundly dark and awful evil such as slavery in its history, then it leaves scars that are very, very deep. And unless we collectively address them and really put our effort to healing them, they'll perpetuate. The United States of America are still suffering from the echoes of slavery. I think we're still reeling from all the pain that is a result of it, and that's a reality.
Politics in America is the binding secular religion.
