I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.

I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term - meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching - there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

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

With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.

My last word s that it all depends on what you visualize.

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

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.
