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

Art is both the taking and giving of beauty, the turning out to the light of the inner folds of the awareness of the spirit.

There still is some opposition to it in some museums and art schools, but I think photography has really grown into a mature art form.

The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.

I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.

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.
