My early childhood equipped me...

My early childhood equipped me really well for my portrait work: The quick encounter, where you are not going to know the subject for very long. These days I am much more comfortable with the fifteen minute relationship, than I am with a life long relationship.

I've said about a million time...

I've said about a million times that the best thing a young photographer can do is to stay close to home. Start with your friends and family, the people who will put up with you. Discover what it means to be close to your work, to be intimate with a subject. Measure the difference between that and working with someone you don't know as much about. Of course there are many good photographs that have nothing to do with staying close to home, and I guess what I'm really saying is that you should take pictures of somethi

The first thing I did with my ...

The first thing I did with my very first camera was climb Mt. Fuji. Climbing Mt. Fuji is a lesson in determination and moderation. It would be fair to ask if I took the moderation part to heart. But it certainly was a lesson in respecting your camera. If I was going to live with this thing, I was going to have to think about what that meant. There were not going to be any pictures without it.

There's an idea that it's hard to be a woman artist. People assume that women have fewer opportunities, less power. But it's not any harder to be a woman artist than to be a male artist. We all take what we are given and use the parts of ourselves that feed the work. We make our way. Photographers, men and women, are particularly lucky. Photography lets you find yourself. It is a passport to people and places and to possibilities.

As a young person, and I know it's hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn't do normally if I was just by myself.

I think self-portraits are very difficult. I've always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. I'd want it to be very graphic Ђ' about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but I'm scared to do it by myself. I've been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. I'm so strongly linked to how I see through the camera that to get to the other side of it would be difficult. It would be a

You have trust in what you think. If you splinter yourself and try to please everyone, you can't. It's important to stay the course. I don't think I would have lasted this long if I'd listened to anyone. You have to listen somewhat and then put that to the side and know that what you do matters.
