I was to discover that the quest for human understanding is a lifetime one that has no end in sight.

The element of discovery is very important. I don't repeat myself well. I want and need that stimulus of walking forward from one new world to another. There is something demoralizing about going back to a place to retake pictures. You can no longer see your subjects in a fresh eye; you keep comparing them with the pictures you hold in your memory. [The] world was full of discoveries waiting to be made...(as a photographer) I could share the things I saw and learned...you would react to something all others might walk by.

"Utter truth is essential, and that is what stirs me when I look through the camera."

My idea of gardening is to discover something wild in my wood and weed around it with the utmost care until it has a chance to grow and spread.

If you banish fear, nothing terribly bad can happen to you.

Work is something you can count on, a trusted, lifelong friend who never deserts you.

You are responsible for what you have done and the people whom you have influenced.
