It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.

One of the most important pieces of equipment, for the photographer who really wants to improve, is a great big wastepaper basket.

We make images to "honor what is greater and more interesting than we are."

I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.

I never know in advance what I will photograph,...I Go Out into the World and Hope I Will come across something that Imperatively interests me. I Am Addicted to the Found object. I have No doubt that I Will Continue to make Photographs till my last Breath.

This profession [photography] is deserving of attention and respect equal to that accorded painting, literature, music and architecture.
