After John Baldessari, Portrait Series, 1974
“I have always avoided doing portraits as something per se. A face is so powerful and dominates all else. In this series I have hidden the face in a variety of manners, trying to allow other information to surface and define the person (…) If art is a mystery, then the face is a betrayer and should be hidden.”

"(---) Artists were invited to meet two photographers at this deserted pier (---). One of my goals was to prevent them from composing in the frame. I bounced a ball on the pier and and asked that they try to photograph the ball in the middle of the frame, the idea being that they would be so concerned in doing that they would not have time for a beautiful photograph.
