But in a way there is because I know all of the people I photograph. Maybe the problem is that if in the same way I had photographed a famous person, it would be a different looking picture because we know another thing about this person. So they're anonymous . . . They're anonymous to you. You're dealing with the absoluteness of the medium, its picture perfectness.
Photography pretends to show reality.
With your technique you have to go as near to reality as possible in order to imitate reality. And when you come so close then you recognize that, at the same time, it is not. Well, maybe I can say it's my curiosity that makes me do each one because I want to see them. And then I go on. When I look at one of your portraits, or buildings, it's almost as though I can see more than is actually there.
