The more light you have in an image, the less drama you get. The details start taking over; the mystery is all gone.

Sometimes as you work, you find that you are learning things about your own perceptions and motivations that are way below you consciousness. If you get lucky, you recognize what you are doing, but all too often we don't find the connection between our work and our own motivations.

You can't just turn on when something happens, you have to be turned on all the time. Then things happen.

I take pictures, and they are there for the taking. I'll tell you a quote that I have always thought about. Arthur Miller said, I try to create the poem from the evidence.

A photographer's art is more in his perceptions than his execution. In a painter, I think the perception is only the first step, and then you have a kind of hard road of execution.

If you don't have a camera, the best thing you can do is describe how great it looked.

The drama of light exists not only in what is in the light, but also in what is left dark. If the light is everywhere, the drama is gone.
