I love Surrealism. I really do. I like the absurd view and Surrealism is most close to it –to combine things which don’t really go together but yet somehow do anyway because that is the way life is – absolutely absurd.

If you want me to explain the picture, if you put it in reality, then the mystery goes away. The situation just catches you and you think it is absurd or mysterious and you just take the picture. You don’t want to see the bare reality of what happened. I took the picture as the picture, not as the realistic story of what happened.
The situation catches you - you think it's absurb or mysterious an you just take the picture.
I was thinking of the word Surrealistic . . . I don’t think it should be used exclusively with my photographs. The meaning is close but I think my tendencies are more toward the whimsical or absurd. Surrealism is more connected with morbidity. From that I am very far away.
People ask me who was your idol, who do you copy or was your influence and I never was influenced. I was just doing my own work and didn’t look right or left. That is why I became more original than others, that’s what I think!
