That's who comes to my workshops. I jokingly tell my students that the class could be called "Your photographs: Better."

Above all, it's hard learning to live with vivid mental images of scenes I cared for and failed to photograph. It is the edgy existence within me of these unmade images that is the only assurance that the best photographs are yet to be made.

I had a book come out several years ago, when there were no blogs. This is a mark to me about how the environment has changed.

There are grander and more sublime landscapes - to me. There are more compelling cultures. But what appeals to me about central Montana is that the combination of landscape and lifestyle is the most compelling I've seen on this earth. Small mountain ranges and open prairie, and different weather, different light, all within a 360-degree view.

[ My time and our common culture] it's what I'm photographing, and I'm very involved with that.

[In the late 80's] that's the first time I heard about that astonishing idea [that most photographs would be taken on telephones]. And now I've been watching the tsunami of images.

A very big part of the life of a photograph is the afterlife.
