What’s your advice for photographers?
To try to
connect the questions you asked—the question of too many photographs is
interesting; the only way that I think people can really make a
statement or do anything that’s of any value today is just to not lose
their personality. That’s what I think is happening. I see in
photojournalism, you look at all these websites, even the agencies, and I
don’t know about you, but I can’t tell one photographer’s work from the
other. It’s just a flood of people who been influenced by the
generation that came before or whatever it is, and they look the same.
So, the only thing for me is to look for people who have maintained
their personality. It’s not so easy to do because people don’t want you
to. But in my life, you are who you are and you keep going on it.
