You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.

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.

If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.

The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.

I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.
