Photography is an austere and blazing poetry of the real.

I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.

Emphasis on technique is justified only so far as it will simplify and clarify the statement of the photographer's concept.

I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender!

The [35mm] camera is for life and for people, the swift and intense moments of life.

Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
