"I still firmly believe, as do the Amerindians of my parents' South America, that the camera steals the souls of its subjects; now I dedicate my energy to collecting as many worthy souls as time will allow. Maybe, predictably, I'll find my own in there. Perhaps, like M. Scott Peck suggests, they are all one and the same - part of the Great Rhizome...the Amerindians had a word for it.

"My subject matter is "almost always people. Period." - whether that means a high fashion model adorned in a fortune of jewellery but as empty as Hell itself, or a face in the crowds on the Mexican streets, or even the pain of wisdom in the eyes of my grandmother. To me, it's quite possible to become a master of more than one let alone a jack of all trades - so long as the mood of the moment is captured. Perhaps, I wonder, that is where the souls resides...

"Well, perhaps a few more Triumphs down the line, I'll tell you if I'm still in tune."
