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.

I think photography is being recognized and collected. Its values have certainly gone up and continue to go up.

Let us leave a splendid legacy for our children...let us turn to them and say, this you inherit: guard it well, for it is far more precious than money...and once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price.

No matter how sophisticated you may be, a large granite mountain cannot be denied - it speaks in silence to the very core of your being.

I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.
