No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.

Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.

The camera cannot, but the photographer can.

I believe in beauty. I believe in stones and water, air and soil, people and their future and their fate.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

We who are gathered here may represent a particular delete, not of money and power, but of concern for the earth for the earth's sake.

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.
