November 5 – December 3, 1978
What I’m after is a photograph that is more than the sum of its parts. I try to make pictures that do more
than describe what the subject looks like, i.e, “Here it is, here’s what it looks like.” I want the photograph
to be an interpretation, basically a transformation. That’s about it.
