...through this photographic eye you will be able to look out on a new light-world, a world for the most part uncharted and unexplored, a world that lies waiting to be discovered and revealed.

Why limit yourself to what your eyes see when you have an opportunity to extend your vision?

For photography is a way to capture the moment - not just any moment, but the important one, this one moment out of all time when your subject is revealed to the fullest - that moment of perfection which comes once and is not repeated.

If I have any 'message' worth giving to a beginner it is that there are no short cuts in photography.

......so called “composition” becomes a personal thing, to be developed along with technique, as a personal way of seeing.

I find myself every so often looking at my ground glass as though the unrecorded image might escape me!

It's hard not to tell the truth with a camera. Artists are particularly good at that.
