I Know That I Am One With

A Great Photograph Is One That Fully Expresses What One Feels, In The Deepest Sense, About What Is Being Photographed.

Art Is Both The Taking And Giving Of Beauty; The Turning Out To The Light The Inner Folds Of The Awareness Of The Spirit. It Is The Recreation On Another Plane Of The Realities Of The World; The Tragic And Wonderful Realities Of Earth And Men, And Of All The Inter-relations Of These.

I Tried To Keep Both Arts Alive, But The Camera Won. I Found That While The Camera Does Not Express The Soul, Perhaps A Photograph Can!

The Whole World Is, To Me, Very Much "alive" - All The Little Growing Things, Even The Rocks. I Can't Look At A Swell Bit Of Grass And Earth, For Instance, Without Feeling The Essential Life - The Things Going On - Within Them. The Same Goes For A Mountain, Or A Bit Of The Ocean, Or A Magnificent Piece Of Old Wood.

Dodging And Burning Are Steps To Take Care Of Mistakes God Made In Establishing Tonal Relationships.
