I use my music to tune myself.

I often see the materials of photography as being a type of terrain. Emulsions, liquid developers, silver salts, and fixers interact, and I construct a landscape that I need to first explore in my mind's eye if I am to make it manifest as an artful image in silver.

Keep alive the fact that a mystery has come into existence and that a physical being serves as a house for this mystery.

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's potential as a great image-maker and communicator is really no different from the same potential in the best poetry where familiar, everyday words, placed within a special context, can soar above the intellect and touch subtle reality in a unique way.

We always point the lens both outward and inward.

The influence of mystery is the greatest influence.
