I Have Never Forgotten A Picture That

A Kind Of Golden Hour One Remembers For A Life Time... Everything Was Touched With Magic.

As Photographers, We Live Through Things So Swiftly. All Our Experience And Training Is Focused Toward Snatching Off The Highlights... That All Significant Perfect Moment, So Essential To Capture, Is Often Highly Perishable. There May Be Little Opportunity To Probe Deeper.

Life Wanted Faces That Would Express What We Wanted To Tell. Not Just The Unusual Or Striking Face, But The Face That Would Speak Out The Message From The Printed Page. I Am Always Looking For Some Typical Person Or Face That Will Tie The Picture Essay Together In A Human Way.

My Idea Of Gardening Is To Discover Something Wild In My Wood And Weed Around It With The Utmost Care Until It Has A Chance To Grow And Spread.

By Some Special Graciousness Of Fate I Am Deposited - As All Good Photographers Like To Be - In The Right Place At The Right Time. Go Into It As Young As Possible. Bring All The Asset You Have And Play To Win.
