All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.

"Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me?""

There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form.

It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.

Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman.
