We all have choices and must make them for ourselves.

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.

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.

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

The photographer Ruth Bernhard used to tell me that this is like asking somebody how they evolved their signature. It is not something I've ever worked on consciously. I think style is just the end result of personal experience. It would be problematic for me to photograph in another style. I'm drawn to places and subject matter that have personal connections for me and I photograph in a way that seems right. Where does it all come from, who knows?

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