Duane Michals

Most photographs, to me, are description, but they lack insight.

Even in the deepest love relationship - when lovers say 'I love you' to each other - we don't really know what we're saying, because language isn't equal to the complexity of human emotions.

All good work has magic in it, and addresses the mind in a subtle way.

Usually when painters use photographs, they enlarge and copy them and simply make a large, boring painting of a large, boring photograph.

I'm a terrible punster. And I love to rhyme. I just can't help myself.

I've done a lot of commercial work. I'm the complete photographer.
