I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term - meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching - there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

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

My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.

Photography has escalated almost exponentially! It is a language which covers almost every aspect of communication; factual and expressive.

Wilderness is rapidly becoming one of those aspects of the American dream which is more of the past than of the present. Wilderness is not only a condition of nature, but a state of mind and mood and heart. It cannot be confined to the museum-case status—seen only as a passing diorama from superlative throughways.

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

One of the most important pieces of equipment, for the photographer who really wants to improve, is a great big wastepaper basket.
