It Is Increasingly Clear To Me That

It Is My Intention To Present - Through The Medium Of Photography - Intuitive Observations Of The Natural World Which May Have Meaning To The Spectators.

Photograph Not Only What You See But Also What You Feel.

Photography Is An Investigation Of Both The Outer And The Inner Worlds. The First Experiences With The Camera Involve Looking At The World Beyond The Lens, Trusting The Instrument Will 'capture' Something 'seen.' The Terms Shoot And Take Are Not Accidental; They Represent An Attitude Of Conquest And Appropriation. Only When The Photographer Grows Into Perception And Creative Impulse Does The Term Make Define A Condition Of Empathy Between The External And The Internal Events.

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.

You Don't Make A Photograph Just With A Camera. You Bring To The Act Of Photography All The Pictures You Have Seen, The Books You Have Read, The Music You Have Heard, The People You Have Loved.
