The technique of 35mm photography appears simple. One is beguiled by the quick viewing and operation, and by the very questionable inclination to make many pictures with the hope that some will be good.

Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.

The camera cannot, but the photographer can.

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

Photograph not only what you see but also what you feel.

We either have wild places or we don't. We admit the spiritual-emotional validity of wild, beautiful places or we don't. We have a philosophy of simplicity of experience in these wild places or we don't. We admit an almost religious devotion to the clean exposition of the wild, natural earth or we don't.

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
