Photographers who come up with power never get accused of imitating anyone else even though they photograph the same broom, same street, same portraits.

Watching the way the current moves a blade of grass - sometimes I've seen that happen and it has just turned me inside out.

We emphasized the creativeness that happens at the moment of seeing over the kind that takes place in the dark room.

Different levels of photography require different levels of understanding and skill. A "press the button, let George do the rest" photographer needs little or no technical knowledge of photography. A zone system photographer takes more responsibility. He visualizes before he presses the button, and afterwards calibrates for predictable print values.

Some of the young photographers today enter photography where I leave off. My "grandchildren" astound me. What I worked for they seem to be born with. So I wonder where Their affirmations of Spirit will lead. My wish for them is that their unfolding proceeds to fullness of Spirit, however astonishing or anguished their lives.

The development of a love of medium and a responsibility for one's own pictures is an overall goal.

When gifts are given to me through my camera, I accept them graciously.
