If you have enough craft, you've done your homework and you're practiced. You can then make the photograph you desire.

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

I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.

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.

Myths and creeds are heroic struggles to comprehend the truth in the world.

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.

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