"I believe that using the camera may draw us away from our selves. That is a meaningfully constrained way of thinking and knowing that enables us to conjure relationships among otherwise uncooperative earthly things; new and valuable correspondences which never actually existed. That these novel sets of relationships - called `photographs` - are useful because of the independent authority they possess to both defy and embrace impermanence and to convey to other human beings the essence of a separate self's fleeting and often furtive connections with the obstinate thusness of it all. In short, that such pictures can get us about as close to the ineffable as our mortal shortcomings will allow.

And what's more: working with the camera has the warrant to turn this whole fearful mess on its head: to demonstrate that the humility in the face of the actual and the transient has the paradoxical power to effect a true and earned freedom. That it authorizes ultimately the affirmation of life, the final yes."
