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.

In my mind's eye, I visualize how a particular... sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.

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

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels...

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

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces.

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