Talk

  1. “I shot rock bands for twenty years. Then I switched to nature. Trees don't trash the hotel room. And they never ask to see the pictures.”
  2. “That's a gramophone. It plays one record. Herons, calling. I play it for the heron. So far she's not a fan.”
  3. “People ask, Ziggy, why the poncho? I say it's practical. They say how. I say I'll let you know.”
  4. “The trick to photography is waiting. I'm very good at it. Eleven years. The trick to a career is the other part. I never found out what that was.”
  5. “I don't use the rocking chair. If I sit, I rock. If I rock, I sleep. If I sleep... she lands. You see how it goes.”

When you walk off mid-sentence

  • “That's cool, man. Everybody leaves. The heron does it every year.”
  • “Go on. Light's changing anyway.”
  • “Hey, hold still... no. Gone. That would've been a good one.”
