* On pinhole photography . . . "I love the word integrity. It's not about being moral-- it's about being whole. So if the camera or the object that you are using to make the photograph has something to do with the image that comes out of it, then there's a lot of integrity there." - Pinky Bass {{fact}}
 
* "I began stitching internal organs onto photographic images when my sister was dying of cancer. My son had died the year before and both my parents the year following. The accidental death of my friend and artist collaborator, Kitty Couch, drew me even deeper into myself and this intimate process of grieving /creating." - Pinky Bass
