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

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.

At 42, I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn't rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted.

Human beings to me are as much a part of nature as trees or birds, and the unclothed body expresses this belongingness directly and powerfully.

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.

The urge to create, the urge to photograph, comes in part from the deep desire to live with more integrity, to live more in peace with the world, and possibly to help others to do the same.
