"The thing that interests me about photography and why it's different from all other media, is that it;s the only medium in which there is ever the possibility of an accidental masterpiece. You cannot make an accidental masterpiece if you're a painter or sculptor. It's just not going to happen. Something will be wrong."
"It always amazes me that just when I think that there's nothing left to do in photography and that all permutations and possibilities have been exhausted, someone comes along and puts the medium to a new use, and makes it his or her own, yanks it out of this kind of amateur status, and makes it as profound and moving and as formally interesting as any other medium. It's like pushing something heavy uphill. Photography's not an easy medium. It is, finally, perhaps the hardest of them all."
