David Wojnarowicz, Hujar Dreaming, 1982

Peter Hujar: It's like, photography is still a baby.

Narrator: Peter Hujar.

Peter Hujar: It's a new thing, and it's something that anyone can do and anyone can do fairly well; especially, with all the automatic cameras. Anyone can take a picture and any picture is interesting. Say, I've never seen an uninteresting photograph.

David Wojnarowicz: But yet, there's ... for me, there's a sense of ... For me, your work is photography to me, it's not─it doesn't have to hide under a claim of being art or being all these other things. It's not like Postmodern stuff where it looks like commercials without the texts in front of it─in terms of what product it’s advertising. Your images don't seem to try to persuade people or lead them into an area outside of whatever it is that you're photographing. It's like, it just deals with things ... generally, you deal with things in your life, and these are what you photograph. And it's not like trying to distort something through a photographic medium. It's more like trying to arrive at some kind of personal truth in that thing. And that's how I see your photographs, and I don't see that many people doing that.
