I am pessimistic about a picture's power to be the emissary of just one thing. What I hope is that the picture says, "Here I am, this is what I am like," and the person seeing the picture says in return, 'You know a lot but you don't know half of what I know.'

The picture is like a prayer, an offering, and hopefully an opening through which to seek what we don't know, or already know and should take seriously.

The challenge of photography is to show the thing photographed so that our feelings are awakened and hidden aspects are revealed to us

This is the gift of the landscape photograph, that the heart finds a place to stand.

The authentic thing is to follow your heart, your instincts, your emotions. If you located yourself in an idea, your life would be lived very sadly.

For me, pictures provide a means of holding, intensely, a moment of communication between one human and another.
