"Simply look with perceptive eyes at the world about you, and trust to your own reactions and convictions. Ask yourself: "Does this subject move me to feel, think and dream? Can I visualize a print - my own personal statement of what I feel and want to convey - from the subject before me?""

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

There are no forms in nature. Nature is a vast, chaotic collection of shapes. You as an artist create configurations out of chaos. You make a formal statement where there was none to begin with. All art is a combination of an external event and an internal event… I make a photograph to give you the equivalent of what I felt. Equivalent is still the best word.

Photography has escalated almost exponentially! It is a language which covers almost every aspect of communication; factual and expressive.

Once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

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