I Began Taking Pictures In The Natural

And Most Of My Early Pictures Failed But About One In A 100 Somehow Looked Better Than What I Saw.

I Think Landscape Photography In General Is Somewhat Undervalued.

When The Light Is Right And Everything Is Working For Me, I Feel As Tense As When Making A Difficult Maneuver High On A Mountain. A Minute - And Sometimes Mere Seconds - Can Make The Difference Between A Superb Image And A Mundane One.

When The Magic Hour Arrives, My Thoughts Center On Light Rather Than On The Landscape. I Search For Perfect Light, Then Hunt For Something Earthbound To Match With It.

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.
