Unless you photograph what you love, you're not going to make good art.

The things that are close to you are the things you can photograph the best.

These dog bones are just making art the way art should be made, without any overarching reference. Just for fun, if you can imagine that-art for fun.

When the good pictures come, we hope they tell truths, but truths 'told slant,' just as Emily Dickinson commanded.

There are a number of things that set Southern artists apart from anyone else. Their obsession with place and their obsession with family.

It is easier for me to take ten good pictures in an airplane bathroom than in the gardens at Versailles.

I struggle with enormous discrepancies: between the reality of motherhood and the image of it, between my love for my home and the need to travel, between the varied and seductive paths of the heart. The lessons of impermanance, the occasional despair and the muse, so tenuously moored, all visit their needs upon me and I dig deeply for the spiritual utilities that restore me: my love for the place, for the one man left, for my children and friends and the great green pulse of spring.
