Your own photography is never enough. Every photographer who has lasted has depended on other peoples pictures too - photographs that may be public or private, serious or funny, but that carry with them a reminder of community.

The only freedom we've got is not to react to anything, but to turn within and know the truth.

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 catch on to your awakening, the world does not change. You just see it differently, that's all. You acquire a feeling of immortality. A feeling of divine bliss, so to speak, when things no longer have the power to affect you.

...combining the concrete and the universal is at the center of what makes art important.

All land, no matter what has happened to it, has over it a grace, an absolutely persistent beauty.

There is only one decision you need to make: You are either working at your Freedom or you are accepting your bondage.
