Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.

A photograph is not an accident - it is a concept.

Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.

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

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.

The next time you pick up a camera think of it not as an inflexible and automated robot, but as a flexible instrument which you must understand to properly use. An electronic and optical miracle creates nothing on its own! Whatever beauty and excitement it can represent exist in your mind and spirit to begin with.

It is increasingly clear to me that my art relates more and more to a sublimation of my closeness to the natural world, it's events, light itself, and the positive it is a personal expression based on observation and reaction, that I am not able to define except in terms of the work itself.
