Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.

The whole world is, to me, very much "alive" - all the little growing things, even the rocks. I can't look at a swell bit of grass and earth, for instance, without feeling the essential life - the things going on - within them. The same goes for a mountain, or a bit of the ocean, or a magnificent piece of old wood.

Photographers and artists contribute a lot to the world and have a right to exist in relative security and comfort.

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

A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into.

It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.

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