JT: You said recently, and this is really the end of the story, your
return to the image and so on. You said, I will show you what painting
can do. Is that a battle cry for the future?
DH: Well that's what you've to do, meaning, I realised what's happening
with photography. Photography's changing. The digits are a profound
change. The hand is actually being brought back into the camera. Er,
meaning it's going towards painting. The problem is, photographic dyes
and printing inks aren't as good as paint, actually.
JT: It's a revalidation of what you've been doing all your life.
DH: I mean I think probably something big can be done with cameras, I'm
not saying, er, I'm saying chemical photography's finished, that means
you can't have a Cartier Bresson again, you need never believe pictures.
I mean, meaning, we're in, we are in a new era with it, and nobody's
discussing it too much yet, because there's vested interests actually. I
realise that.
