Art does not in fact prove anything. What it does do is record one of those brief times, such as we each have and then each forget, when we are allowed to understand that the Creation is whole.

When you abide in the I you're abiding in the ego. The I is really the ego, the small I. It turns into the Self eventually.

My first show at MoMA in New York was pictures of new developments along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. They were housing developments that were brutal in many ways, that cared almost not a thing for the human beings inside. They were just designed to make money.

Timothy O'Sullivan was, it seems to me, the greatest of the photographers because he understood nature first as architecture.

We rely, I think, on landscape photography to make intelligible to us what we already know.

There is always a subjective aspect in landscape art, something in the picture that tells us as much about who is behind the camera as about what is in front of it.

Almost all photographers have incurred large expenses in the pursuit of tiny audiences, finding that the wonder they'd hoped to share is something few want to receive.
