Life Is Your Art. An Open, Aware

"simply Look With Perceptive Eyes At The World About You, And Trust To Your Own Reactions And Convictions. Ask Yourself: "does This Subject Move Me To Feel, Think And Dream? Can I Visualize A Print - My Own Personal Statement Of What I Feel And Want To Convey - From The Subject Before Me?""

The Quality Of Place, The Reaction To Immediate Contact With Earth And Growing Things That Have A Fugal Relationship With Mountains And Sky, Is Essential To The Integrity Of Our Existence On This Planet.

Photography, As A Powerful Medium Of Expression And Communications, Offers An Infinite Variety Of Perception, Interpretation And Execution.

There Are No Forms In Nature. Nature Is A Vast, Chaotic Collection Of Shapes. You As An Artist Create Configurations Out Of Chaos. You Make A Formal Statement Where There Was None To Begin With. All Art Is A Combination Of An External Event And An Internal Event… I Make A Photograph To Give You The Equivalent Of What I Felt. Equivalent Is Still The Best Word.

I Know Some Photographs That Are Extraodrinary In Their Power And Conviction, But It Is Difficult In Photography To Overcome The Superficial Power Or Subject; The Concept And Statement Must Be Quite Convincing In Themselves To Win Over A Dramatic And Compelling Subject Situation.
