I had luck, but I worked hard and I suffered. It's not just photography I'm talking about. It's about whatever dream you want it to be.

It's more difficult now, to be a Geographic photographer, than it was when I came along. And it wasn't easy at that time.

The best lesson I was given is that all of life teaches, especially if we have that expectation.

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

I was a consultant for Kodak back in the late 80's. There were engineers there who told me that in the future, most photographs would be taken on telephones. They weren't able to do anything with that. They were engineers, not management.

My connection to Santa Fe is very closely, and continuously a connection with Reid. I believe in him and his philosophy of photographic education.

It matters little how much equipment we use; it matters much that we be masters of all we do use.
