Photography is a medium, a language, through which I might come to experience directly, live more closely with, the interaction between myself and nature.

Photography is not easy. You know it takes a painter or a sculpture or a musician years to perfect their technique. Then they're free to make an expression in a matter of moments. It takes moments for a photographer to perfect his technique. And then it takes years for him to make it into something that is truly creative and worthwhile.

I use my music to tune myself.

Photography is a medium, a language, through which I might come to experience directly, live more closely with, the interaction between myself and nature.

All that I have achieved are these dreams locked in silver.

The only way a work of art can become great is for one to acknowledge that it doesn't belong to anybody. The greatness is in constantly giving back, coming to an acknowledgment of the source. Look back to the source of any individual, any process, any set of materials. If the individual personality can relinquish its insistence on concepts like this is mine, I did it, this is original, nobody else has done it, it goes straight for greatness or the essential spirit.

Seek freedom within action.
