A Very Big Part Of The Life

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.

Yes, There Are Billions More Photographers, And Billions More Photographs Every Day, But Who's Building Up A Point Of View? Who's Photographing With Intention, And Whose Body Of Work Will Sustain Itself And Survive?

Life Rarely Presents Fully Finished Photographs. An Image Evolves, Often From A Single Strand Of Visual Interest - A Distant Horizon, A Moment Of Light, A Held Expression.

When Assignments Were Over, Photography Continued. One Of The Primary Reasons It Did Was That I Wanted And Needed To Have Fresh Work. Also, It's Very Stimulating To Be Around Non-professional Photographers. They're The Ones With The Purest Flame Burning About Their Photography. I Appreciate That.

I Started Teaching In '76 And I'd Been A Photographer At The Geographic For Six Years. But Prior To Being At The Geographic I Was A Teacher. Plus My Parents Were Teachers And My Brother And My Grandparents. So It Was The Culture Of Our Family To Think About Teaching, To Talk About Teaching, To Talk About Teachers.
