I admired the work of photographers like Beaton, Penn, and Avedon as much as I respected the grittier photographers such as Robert Frank. But in the same way that I had to find my own way of reportage, I had to find my own form of glamour.

I knew that I had to find my own voice, both figuratively and literally.

The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

Those who want to be serious photographers, you're really going to have to edit your work. You're going to have to understand what you're doing. You're going to have to not just shoot, shoot, shoot. To stop and look at your work is the most important thing you can do.

I'm starting to find my own style.

Robert Herring had enough trust in me to think I could carry my own show.
