Through the experience of art, the powers of perception and transformation can be awakened, in both those who create it and those who re-perceive it.

All photographs are about light. The great majority of photographs record light as a way of describing objects in space. A few photographs are less about objects and more about the space that contains them. Still fewer photographs are about light itself.

Many oriental cultures make a distinction between two ways of looking - 'hard eyes' and 'soft eyes'. When we look with hard eyes, we see specific details with sharp focus, but we don't see the relationships between different details as well. When we look with soft eyes we see the relationships between everything in our field of vision, but with this softer focus, we don't see all the details as clearly. It's possible to look in two ways at once.

It's one thing to make a beautiful thing; it's another thing to make a living thing.

Different people can photograph the same things with the same tools and create such different images.

Listen carefully. The way(s) we speak about things is revealing.

I'd say seeking is one of the fundamental artistic impulses. Art is about discovery. The medium is not the message.
