The ‘machine-gun’ approach to photography – by which many negatives are made with the hope that one will be good – is fatal to serious results.

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

You don't take a photograph, you make it.

Today, we must realize that nature is revealed in the simplest meadow, wood lot, marsh, stream, or tidepool, as well as in the remote grandeur of our parks and wilderness areas.

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.

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

It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.
