I've been doing photography in one form or another for, oh golly, over seventy years. I don't carry cameras. I used to. For many years I carried cameras wherever I went. Photograph whatever I saw that was of interest. In the last years, I've only used cameras to explore thematic ideas which presented themselves first. And then bring out the cameras to try to explore that idea.

A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.

Other times, you're doing some piece of work and suddenly you get feedback that tells you that you have touched something that is very alive in the cosmos.

I believe in goodness, mercy and charity. I believe in casting bread upon the waters.

That's the most difficult issue for me - to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I'm prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject.

I know where Im going, and I know where Ive been.

Where there is no emotion, there is no motive for violence.
