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.

For me photography has been a profession, an avocation. Now it has become a way of life.

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

A thing is not what you say it is or what you photograph it to be or what you paint it to be or what you sculpt it to be. Words, photographs, paintings, and sculptures are symbols of what you see, think, and feel things to be, but they are not the things themselves.

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.

If you stop searching, you stop living, because then you're dwelling in the past. If you're not reaching forward to any growth or future, you might as well be dead.

You can expand your reality by developing new ways of perceiving.
