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?

All knowledge is self-reflective.

The goal of the artist is not to resolve life's mysteries, but to deepen them.

I try to begin working with no preconceived ideas.

And young people who are learning digital skills discover that the real challenge is coming up with an image that resonates, first of all, with your self and hopefully, with an audience. They can learn all these new techniques and think that they're easier to use, but creating great images isn't about the tools.

The camera is a fluid way of encountering that other reality

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