I’ve used a lot of different photographic techniques in the past thirty years. I realize there isn’t just one way to take a photograph, there are a thousand different ways—and that’s what I’ve taught the students. They should not insist on their beautiful Leica, or their Hasselblad, or whatever they use. The technique must result from the idea that you have—and you may have to develop your own technology to bring out the images. I’m not much interested in “straight” photography anymore. It has been practiced for more than 150 years, and most of it is too conventional. I’ve always wanted to go beyond the limits.

Auctions are always a good way to see what’s out there. Sometimes entire collections become available. Looks like over 90 images from the Avon Collection are now available for purchase. Nice online catalog from Freeman’s for the auction in Philly on September 10th 2013.
