कला केवल ऐसी तस्वीरों का संग्रह नहीं है जिनका हकीकत से कोई वास्ता न हो। कला वे मूर्त वस्तुएं हैं जो वास्तविक स्थानों, अर्थव्यवस्थाओं, जगहों और वास्तुकला के बीच सांस लेती हैं।
Art is more than a series of images that are disembodied. Art is objects that live in real places, economies, spaces, architecture.

एक समय ऐसा था जब ब्रुकलिन ब्रिज की तस्वीर लेने पर लोगों को गिरफ्तार कर लिया जाता था। इसलिए मेरे लिए फोटोग्राफी के मायने भी बदल गए। इसमें राजनीति का एक नया रंग जुड़ गया था—जो कि काफी आक्रामक और खतरनाक था—और यह एक ऐसा दुस्साहस था जो किसी तरह की सच्चाई या सबूत को सामने लाने का दावा करता था।
For a time, people were getting arrested for photographing the Brooklyn Bridge. So to me, what it meant to do photography also changed. There was a new kind of politics to it – something that was very aggressive and dangerous – and a presumption that it would reveal some kind of truth or evidence.

किसी एयरबेस की तस्वीर खींचना केवल किसी चीज़ की फोटो लेना भर नहीं है, बल्कि यह तस्वीर खींचने के अपने अधिकार पर जोर देना है। आप उस अधिकार का इस्तेमाल कर रहे होते हैं।
To go and photograph an airbase is not only to photograph something but it is to insist on one’s right to photograph. You’re flexing that right.

हमारी तस्वीरें पल भर में गायब हो जाने वाली और धुंधली होती हैं। दूर भविष्य में, शायद हार्ड ड्राइव के कुछ टुकड़े चूना पत्थर में जीवाश्म बन जाएं और फेंके गए आईफोन एम्बर में ऐसे कैद हो जाएं जैसे नेल पॉलिश सूख जाती है, लेकिन इन नायाब मशीनों में कैद इंसानी जज्बे की बानगी समय के साथ हमेशा के लिए खो जाएगी।
Our pictures are fleeting and elusive. In the far future, bits of hard drives may be fossilized in limestone, and discarded iPhones may find themselves encased in amber, hardened like nail polish, but the bits of humanity that these exquisitely crafted machines hold will be lost to time.

मैं वास्तव में इन्हें पोस्ट-मिनिमलिस्ट मूर्तियों की तरह देखता हूँ, जिनसे काफी हद तक नासा द्वारा बनाए गए शुरुआती अंतरिक्षयानों की झलक मिलती है।
I really do think of them as post-minimalist sculptures, inspired in large part by some very early spacecraft that NASA built.
