"I use people's real voices because I want realism. So often I mention the actors' physicality because I want it to be like a real documentary."

Previous Quote

Some of my pictures are poem-like in the sense that they are very condensed, haiku-lik. There are others that, if they were poetry, would be more like Ezra Pound. There is a lot of information in most of my pictures, but not the kind of information you see in documentary photography. There is emotional information in my photographs.
