The photograph isolates and perpetuates a moment of time: an important and revealing moment, or an unimportant and meaningless one, depending upon the photographer's understanding of his subject and mastery of his process.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Anything more than 500 yards from the car just isn't photogenic.

Photography to the amateur is recreation, to the professional it is work, and hard work too, no matter how pleasurable it my be.

The camera sees more than the eye, so why not make use of it?

There is nothing like a Bach fugue to remove me from a discordant moment... only Bach hold up fresh and strong after repeated playing. I can always return to Bach when the other records weary me.

This then: to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock.
