In putting images together I become active, and excitement is of another order - synthesis overshadows analysis.

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

Reaching a 'creative' state of mind thru positive action is considered preferable to waiting for 'inspiration'.

To engage a sequence, we keep in mind the photographs on either side of the one in our eye.

I have often photographed when I am not in tune with nature but the photographs look as if I had been. So I conclude that something in nature says, 'Come and take my photograph.' So I do, regardless of how I feel.

One does not photograph something simply for 'what it is', but 'for what else it is.

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.
