Both the grand and the intimate aspects of nature can be revealed in the expressive photograph. Both can stir enduring affirmations and discoveries, and can surely help the spectator in his search for identification with the vast world of natural beauty and wonder surrounding him.

Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop.

The quality of place, the reaction to immediate contact with earth and growing things that have a fugal relationship with mountains and sky, is essential to the integrity of our existence on this planet.

There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form.

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.

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.

With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.
