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.

Mysteries lie all around us, even in the most familiar things, waiting only to be perceived.

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.

A person is quite different from a tree or rock or stream. By introducing the nude into my pictures, I started perceiving all the things I was photographing in new ways. In contrast or opposition to each other, things became much more significant and interesting, revealing many more qualities than I had ever dreamed of knowing and expressing. By using the nude, I stopped thinking in terms of objects.

Everything went together perfectly, and this is what I mean by knowing. I didn't have to analyze anything. I just recognized what was in front of me. All I had to do was set up and take the picture.

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