I love photography books and I really wished a book like The Mormons existed. The problem was nobody was making it, so I had to. It was a lot of work and a very difficult project because of the subject matter. If I had done a book entitled The Scottish People or The Jews, my life would have been a lot easier. But in a way I don’t believe the artist can pick their subject matter. They have to do what they are drawn to and what they care enough about not to quit. That’s really the question when you talk about a large body of work. It’s not why you start a project, it’s why you finish it. I finished The Mormons because I really wanted to make a book that would portray Mormons as people in an academically credible way, a way an educated person who wasn’t Mormon would respect. I have to say, though, that there is so much misunderstanding about Mormons in the world that the limit of what I wanted to say was to show Mormons and let them talk without pushing a huge agenda one way or another, without the agenda of conversion to Mormonism or the agenda of showing Mormons like they are stupid, naive people who are plotting to take over the world, which is an odd contradiction of negative stereotypes, but it’s the one that is advanced by much of the artistic world. The book is full of so many experiences I could write another book about making the book. That’s why I got into photography—the experiences.I started out by writing a weekly column for The Daily Herald. I moved more and more toward photography because I wanted to get out into the world. It’s such an exciting place. I met many of my best friends of my life while traveling. The best people in the world travel. It’s like when you buy a plane ticket and join that community, you are enrolling yourself in the most elite amazing university in the world and it only takes an $800 plane ticket to Paris. But as far as a key experience goes, getting my camera stolen in Rome was a big setback. I lost so many excellent photographs and over a month of work. Insurance replaced the equipment, but losing the work stinks. I now back up all my work while I’m photographing. I keep a hard drive at the hotel and a hard drive with me. That way if one gets stolen I have a copy and it’s very unlikely both will get stolen at the same time. The photograph of the plan of salvation drawn in chalk outside a New York City subway stop was an amazing gift. I was walking to The Cloisters museum when I saw it. I said to myself, “This is amazing. I need to photograph this.” I walked back to my apartment and got my camera. It’s funny because I worked very hard in logistics to be in the position to photograph things for The Mormons, but this image—which is one of my favorites in the book—just happened on a morning stroll to a museum.
