A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.

Photography is an investigation of both the outer and the inner worlds. The first experiences with the camera involve looking at the world beyond the lens, trusting the instrument will 'capture' something 'seen.' The terms shoot and take are not accidental; they represent an attitude of conquest and appropriation. Only when the photographer grows into perception and creative impulse does the term make define a condition of empathy between the external and the internal events.

Photograph not only what you see but also what you feel.

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.
