All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera

I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

We either have wild places or we don't. We admit the spiritual-emotional validity of wild, beautiful places or we don't. We have a philosophy of simplicity of experience in these wild places or we don't. We admit an almost religious devotion to the clean exposition of the wild, natural earth or we don't.

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.
