I Almost Never Set Out To Photograph

My Advice For Climbers Or Photographers Is To Really Tune Into Your Own Passions And Not Just What Other People Are Doing Or Aren't Doing. Figure Out What Works For You, What Turns You On, What Gives You The Greatest Amount Of Energy And Feeling Of Satisfaction.

A Lot Of People Think That When You Have Grand Scenery, Such As You Have In Yosemite, That Photography Must Be Easy.

The Most Interesting Parts Of The Natural World Are The Edges, Places Where Ocean Meets Land, Meadow Meets Forest, Timberline Touches The Heights.

The Landscape Is Like Being There With A Powerful Personality And I'm Searching For Just The Right Angles To Make That Portrait Come Across As Meaningfully As Possible.

I Like To Feel That All My Best Photographs Had Strong Personal Visions And That A Photograph That Doesn't Have A Personal Vision Or Doesn't Communicate Emotion Fails.
