It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.

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

All art is the expression of one and the same thing- the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men and to the world.

To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.

I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!

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

The quality of place, the reaction to immediate contact with earth and growing things that have a fugal relationship with mountains and sky, is essential to the integrity of our existence on this planet.
