I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.
