One of the most important pieces of equipment, for the photographer who really wants to improve, is a great big wastepaper basket.

The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.

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

We must remember that a photograph can hold just as much as we put into it, and no one has ever approached the full possibilities of the medium.

Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique - these, too, are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation .

I never know in advance what I will photograph,...I Go Out into the World and Hope I Will come across something that Imperatively interests me. I Am Addicted to the Found object. I have No doubt that I Will Continue to make Photographs till my last Breath.

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.
