“Nobody would say the cowshed was heaven and nobody would say the inhuman torture of so many victims be called a revolution of the proletariat. ... A museum should be established to remind China of the follies and disasters that had fallen from 1966 to 1976.

“I just happened to have my camera and be photographing my friends. It was totally innocent; there was no purpose to the photographs. There was a purity to them that wasn't planned; it was realism. Over the years, the work has changed for me. I know that I have wanted to repeat myself, but I can't. I've been lost a lot of times, but then I'd just get an idea and photograph it. Once I'd started, I'd know exactly what would go down and how it would end. So I just quit doing it, because it loses all interest for me when you know what's going to happen.” KnowsYearsI CanIdeasEndsHappensWantedPurposeLostInterestLosesHappenedChangedMy FriendsDown AndCamerasPhotographQuittingInnocentRepeatsPurityRealism Author:Larry Clark

“Oftentimes, a funny situation is funny because it's uncomfortable or weird. The most memorable stories, or the stuff that you repeat to your friends, it's not like, "Oh, I had a pleasant day, nothing happened on the bus today." It's when strange things happen, when you become uncomfortable or knocked out of your own reality, those are the things that are interesting.” StoriesRealityHappensTodayStuffInterestingSituationHappenedStrangeThings HappenUncomfortableMemorablePleasantRepeatsBusStrange ThingsMost MemorablePleasant Day Author:John C.
