My wife - she could help me get the negs out!

I respect everything in change and the solemn beauty of life and death... and therefore, while man is amidst the immense beauty of objective bodies, he must possess the capacity of self-perfection and must observe and represent his world with full confidence.

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.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.

The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.
