Obviously, We Can See What Was In

"it Is Light That Reveals, Light That Obscures, Light That Communicates. It Is Light I "listen" To. The Light Late In The Day Has A Distinct Quality, As It Fades Toward The Darkness Of Evening. After Sunset There Is A Gentle Leaving Of The Light, The Air Begins To Still, And A Quiet Descends. I See Magic In The Quiet Light Of Dusk. I Feel Quiet, Yet Intense Energy In The Natural Elements Of Our Habitat. A Sense Of Magic Prevails. A Sense Of Mystery. It Is A Time For Contemplation, For Listening - A Time For Making Photographs. "

Many Photographers Are Consumed With The Idea Of Making Beautiful Contact Sheets. I Am Far More Interested In Making The Best Final Print I Can.

Whatever It Takes To Get The Image To Reach That Level Is What That Photographer Needs To Do. And For Me, I Just Have Such A Love Of The Tactile And Sensuous Quality Of A Black And White Silver Gelatin Print.

For Me The Printing Process Is Part Of The Magic Of Photography. It's That Magic That Can Be Exciting, Disappointing, Rewarding And Frustrating All In The Same Few Moments In The Darkroom.

I Find The Surface Of A Photograph A Thing Of Beauty In And Of Itself, And It Is This Surface That Makes A Photograph Unique Relative To Other Two-dimensional Media.
