Pinky Bass

I don't compose pictures a lot; I don't set up something for it to happen. I use a pinhole, I open it and then I wait to see what's happening. And very often I get things that I would have never been able to set up on my own. So the big part of the creative process for me has to do with allowing the accidents to happen. That's something I love doing is letting the accidents happen.

The images you are making, if they reflect the object somehow, the camera, then there's an integrity to what's happening. I love the word integrity. It's not about being moral-- it's about being whole. So if the camera or the object that you are using to make the photograph has something to do with the image that comes out of it, then there's a lot of integrity there.
