The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.

To the vast majority of people a photograph is an image of something within their direct experience: a more-or-less factual reality. It is difficult for them to realize that the photograph can be the source of experience, as well as the reflection of spiritual awareness of the world and of self.

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty; the turning out to the light the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit. It is the recreation on another plane of the realities of the world; the tragic and wonderful realities of earth and men, and of all the inter-relations of these.

We make images to "honor what is greater and more interesting than we are."

A photograph is not an accident - is a concept. It exists at, or before, the moment of exposure of the negative.

The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.

I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
