"Don't talk to me about digital. I've got Hypo in my veins. The stains you see on my shirts are Dextol. I like the dark room, the radio, the yellow light glowing. I rip the printing paper into quarters. One square is swimming in the Dextol. Through the clear, brown liquid I see my work emerging--my picture. Then I take it, the little piece, and I give it away. A gift. To the person pictured in it. A return for what they have given me. Thirty years pass. People die. Children grow old. They keep the little piece, stuck up on a wall with thumbtacks, creased and stained: themselves. Young and alive. Forever. That is photography."
