The great rocks of Yosemite, expressing qualities of timeless yet intimate grandeur, are the most compelling formations of their kind. We should not casually pass them by, for they are the very heart of the earth speaking to us.

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

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.

All art is a vision penetrating the illusions of reality, and photography is one form of this vision and revelation.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

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

It is increasingly clear to me that my art relates more and more to a sublimation of my closeness to the natural world, it's events, light itself, and the positive it is a personal expression based on observation and reaction, that I am not able to define except in terms of the work itself.
