The (photographic) negative is the equivalent of the composers score and the print is the equivalent of the conductors performance.

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

The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated in a glowing world between the macro and the micro.

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

Photography is an austere and blazing poetry of the real.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

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