No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.

No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.

It is curious that I always want to group things, a series of sonnets, a series of photographs; whatever rationalizations appear, they originate in urges that are rarely satisfied with single images.

At first glance a photograph can inform us. At second glance it can reach us.

The reason why we want to remember an image varies: because we simply 'love it,' or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image, after the seeing of which he has never been quite the same.

Be still with yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence.

Often while traveling with a camera we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts.
