Of course I realize that photography is not the technical facility as much as it is the eye, and this decision that one makes for the moment at which you are going to snap, you know.
I became interested in photography when I was sharing a studio with Walker Evans, and found my own sketching was inadequate.
Now, when I came on to Washington to begin my job, I was so interested in photography at that time that I really would have preferred to work with Stryker than with my department, which was more artistic if you wish.
Now, my knowledge of photography was terribly limited.
I feel, having the choices I had, I felt I had more control over my own medium than I did over photography.
