The contemporary artist...is not bound to a fully conceived, previsioned end. His mind is kept alert to in-process discovery and a working rapport is established between the artist and his creation. While it may be true, as Nathan Lyons stated, 'The eye and the camera see more than the mind knows,' is it not also conceivable that the mind knows more than the eye and the camera can see?

The camera basically is a license to explore.

I think of my photographs as being obviously symbolic, but not symbolically obvious.

It's equally hard and labor intensive to create an image on the computer as it is in a darkroom. Believe me.

Of course, in order to make art, the frustration of not working has to be greater than the frustration of working.

Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself.
