My First Thought Is Always Of Light.

I Began To Realize That The Camera Sees The World Differently Than The Human Eye And That Sometimes Those Differences Can Make A Photograph More Powerful Than What You Actually Observed.

The Landscape Is Like Being There With A Powerful Personality And I'm Searching For Just The Right Angles To Make That Portrait Come Across As Meaningfully As Possible.

My Mountaineering Skills Are Not Important To My Best Photographs, But They Do Add A Component To My Work That Is Definitely A Bit Different Than That Of Most Photographers.

There Is No Question That Photography Has Played A Major Role In The Environmental Movement.

My Interest In Photography Did Not Begin With Books Or Mentors, Or With Any Burning Desire To See The World Through A Camera. It Evolved From An Intense Devotion To Mountains And Wilderness That Eventually Shaped All The Parts Of My Life And Brought Them Together.
