Photography is a language more universal than words.

When I looked at things for what they are I was fool enough to persist in my folly and found that each photograph was a mirror of my Self.

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.

One should not only photograph things for what they are but for what else they are.

The camera is first a means of self-discovery and a means of self-growth. The artist has one thing to say - himself.

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

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.
