You don't take a picture, you make a picture.

The quality of place, the reaction to immediate contact with earth and growing things that have a fugal relationship with mountains and sky, is essential to the integrity of our existence on this planet.

Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

Some photographers take reality... and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.

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.
