There is no one way of photographing anything. I don't believe there is even one best way of photographing any given subject.

As a landscape photographer we should be open to possibilities, for one thing often leads to another.

I enjoy places that have mystery and atmosphere, perhaps a patina of age, a suggestion rather than a description, a question or two. I look for memories, traces, evidence of the human interaction with the landscape. Sometimes I photograph pure nature, sometimes urban structures.

Getting photographs is not the most important thing. For me it's the act of photographing. It's enlightening, therapeutic and satisfying, because the very process forces me to connect with the world. When you make four-hour exposures in the middle of the night, you inevitably slow down and begin to observe and appreciate more what's going on around you. In our fast-paced, modern world, it's a luxury to be able to watch the stars move across the sky.

Instant gratification in photography is not something that I need or desire. I find that the long, slow journey to the final print captivates me far more.

We all have choices and must make them for ourselves.

Nothing is ever the same twice because everything is always gone forever, and yet each moment has infinite photographic possibilities.
