That was one of the 10 most asked questions 20 years ago, but I haven't been asked that in a while, primarily because there are so many women photographers now.

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get. I believe strongly in the power of the still photograph; it can say so much, but it really is just a small piece of what actually is going on.
