I don't think in terms of self-expression, I'm just interested in
making images, hopefully new ones. I don't do commercial work anymore,
used to live by it, and before that was a second-hand student of Minor
White. 

One especially nice thing about commercial work is that one doesn't
need to involve his ego, he can just do the discipline and make
pictures. As a result a person can sometimes accomplish a lot visually. 

I'm not convinced that most people (or I myself) have enough
"internal" stuff to make "self expression" worthwhile.
