Remember God likes us best when we are flying by the seats of our pants.

#1 Never Get Used to Anything.

Never ever say the word shoot when you are taking a picture with a camera because a camera is not a violent weapon.

Each time I make a photograph I celebrate the life I love and the beauty I know and the happiness I have experienced. All my photographs are made like that responding to my intuition... After all these years, I am still motivated by the radiance that light creates when it transforms an object into something magical. What the eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black-and-white image is yet another transformation. What exactly exists, we may never know.

Every day I am aware of the flow and constant change; perhaps I am at the edge of discovering what more our bodies might be able to teach about the spirit of life. At least, I am always exploring and trying to understand our relationship to the whole universe.

Fall in love. Every day. With everything. With life. If you can fall in love, you can be a photographer. I think that is absolutely essential.

I never look for a photograph. The photograph finds me and says, I'm here! and I say, Yes, I see you. I hear you.
