I Find The Surface Of A Photograph

When I'm About Ready To Press The Cable Release On The View Camera, I've Tried To Anticipate Some Of The Challenges I'm Going To Encounter In The Darkroom.

I Support Any Procedure That Allows Photographers To Express Themselves, Whether That Involves Color, Black And White, Platinum, Palladium And Digital Technology.

In 1979, I Received A Phone Call From Ansel Adams Asking Me If I Would Be Willing To Consider Coming To Work For Him. I Was Teaching Photography In Southern California At That Point.

So When I Became Interested In Photography And Further Being Inspired By The Work That I Saw Of Ansel And Others, It Was A Natural Extension To Go Back To These Places That I Knew As A Kid And Explore Them With My Camera.

And As Part Of My Activity There, He Had Indicated He Wanted Me To Work With Him On That And Conduct The Various Technical Tests. And So A Few Months Later I Moved From Southern California Up To The Monterey Peninsula Where I Still Live Today.
