... I'd finally do something I had in mind for years. I'd make a series of cloud pictures. I told Miss O'Keeffe of my ideas. I wanted to photograph clouds to find out what I had learned in 40 years about photography. Through clouds to put down my philosophy of life— to show that my photographs were not due to subject matter—not to special trees, or faces, or interiors, to special privileges—clouds were there for everyone—no tax as yet on them—free.
I was in Ibiza, assisting on a catalogue shoot. I really haven't seen the sea in years - pretty irresistible to not take a picture. I am in the same place watching light moving over water, changing.
