“People use the terminology ‘He’s a commercial photographer, he’s a fine art photographer, he’s a landscape photographer.’ I think it’s hard enoughjust to be a photographer. I think that in using the term ‘photographer’one should be very careful about what that really means. I grew up in atradition where being a photographer was a very noble pursuit… You pursued it for the love and the passion, and doing it was a very difficultthing to do. There are thousands and thousands of people who take photographs, but very few photographers, because one has to have an eye, one has to have the vision, one has to have something to say.”
