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

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.

It is just as important to bring people the evidence of the beauty of the world of nature and of man as it is to give them a document of ugliness, squalor, and despair.

I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.

We were in the shadow of the mountains, the light was cool and quiet and no wind was stirring. The aspen trunks were slightly greenish and the leaves were a vibrant yellow.

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

Knowing what I know now, any photographer worth his salt could make some beautiful things with pinhole cameras.
