When Assignments Were Over, Photography Continued. One Of The Primary Reasons It Did Was That I Wanted And Needed To Have Fresh Work. Also, It's Very Stimulating To Be Around Non-professional Photographers. They're The Ones With The Purest Flame Burning About Their Photography. I Appreciate That.

For Spiritual Companions I Have Had The Many Artists Who Have Relied On Nature To Help Shape Their Imagination. And Their Most Elaborate Equipment Was A Deep Reverence For The World Through Which They Passed. Photographers Share Something With These Artists. We Seek Only To See And To Describe With Our Own Voices, And, Though We Are Seldom Heard As Soloists, We Cannot Photograph The World In Any Other Way.

For Sheer Majestic Geography And Sublime Scale, Nothing Beats Alaska And The Yukon. For Culture, Japan. And For All-around Affection, Australia.

How The Visual World Appears Is Important To Me. I'm Always Aware Of The Light. I'm Always Aware Of What I Would Call The 'deep Composition.' Photography In The Field Is A Process Of Creation, Of Thought And Technique. But Ultimately, It's An Act Of Imaginatively Seeing From Within Yourself.
