For me, the creation of a photograph is experienced as a heightened emotional response, most akin to poetry and music, each image the culmination of a compelling impulse I cannot deny. Whether working with a human figure or a still life, I am deeply aware of my spiritual connection with it. In my life, as in my work, I am motivated by a great yearning for balance and harmony beyond the realm of human experience, reaching for the essence of oneness with the Universe.

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

There is no such thing as taking too much time, because your soul is in that picture.

There is nothing unimportant in the universe.

I never question what to do, it tells me what to do. The photographs make themselves with my help.

Photography is art when it's used by an artist.

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.
