The disciples are drawn to the high altars with magnetic certainty, knowing that a great Presence hovers over the ranges ... You were within the portals of the temple ... to enter the wilderness and seek, in the primal patterns of nature, a magical union with beauty.

You don't take a photograph, you make it.

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.

If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.

How high your awareness level is determines how much meaning you get from your world. Photography can teach you to improve your awareness level.

There are no forms in nature. Nature is a vast, chaotic collection of shapes. You as an artist create configurations out of chaos. You make a formal statement where there was none to begin with. All art is a combination of an external event and an internal event… I make a photograph to give you the equivalent of what I felt. Equivalent is still the best word.

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
