It Is No Longer A Matter Of

Photography Is A Way Of Feeling, Of Touching, Of Loving.

I Was Given A Small Camera As A Wedding Gift From A Very Dear Friend. My First Pictures Were Taken On My Honeymoon. As Soon As I Became Familiar With The Camera, I Was Intrigued With The Possibilities Of Expression It Offered. It Was Like A Discovery For Me.

We Look At The World And See What We Have Learned To Believe Is There. We Have Been Conditioned To Expect... But, As Photographers, We Must Learn To Relax Our Beliefs.

I May Be Wrong, But The Essential Illustrative Nature Of Most Documentary Photography, And The Worship Of The Object Per Se, In Our Best Nature Photography, Is Not Enough To Satisfy The Man Of Today, Compounded As He Is Of Christ, Freud, And Marx.

When I Make A Photograph I Want It To Be An Altogether New Object, Complete And Self-contained, Whose Basic Condition Is Order (unlike The World Of Events And Actions Whose Permanent Condition Is Change And Disorder).
