I love the medium of photography, for with its unique realism it gives me the power to go beyond conventional ways of seeing and understanding and say, This is real, too.

As sounds in a musical composition can be used not to express physical objects but ideas, emotions, harmonies, rhythmic orders and most any expression of the human mind and spirit, so light can be used visually to express the mind and spirit.

I feel all things as dynamic events, being, changing, and interacting with each other in space and time even as I photograph them.

Creativity is an ode to life. It is not a form of entertainment. It is a form of joy.

Light to me is perhaps the most profound truth in the universe. My thinking has been deeply affected by the belief everything is some form of radiant energy.

I didn't want to tell the tree or weed what it was. I wanted it to tell me something and through me express its meaning in nature.

Whenever I have found myself stuck in the ways I relate to things, I return to nature. It is my principal teacher, and I try to open my whole being to what it has to say.
