A good photograph is knowing where to stand.

Once destroyed, nature's beauty cannot be repurchased at any price

I know the importance of highly trained awareness of the “moment” and the immediate and intuitive response of the photographer. It should be obvious to all that photographers whose images possess character and quality have attained them only by continued practice and total dedication to the medium.

Bad weather makes for good photography.

I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term - meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching - there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.

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

The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.
