Photography, Alone Of The Arts, Seems Perfected

Life Rarely Presents Fully Finished Photographs. An Image Evolves, Often From A Single Strand Of Visual Interest - A Distant Horizon, A Moment Of Light, A Held Expression.

Yes, There Are Billions More Photographers, And Billions More Photographs Every Day, But Who's Building Up A Point Of View? Who's Photographing With Intention, And Whose Body Of Work Will Sustain Itself And Survive?

I Did It Once, And National Geographic Recruited Me. I Did It Primarily Out Of Curiosity. A Lot Of Legendary Photographers Had Worked On That Campaign. Ernst Haas Had Done The Early Photography, And I Knew Him. There's A Lore In Photography About That Campaign, And I Was Curious.

The Thing With My Workshops Is, Photography Is A Thoughtful Process. In An Atmosphere Of Fast Photography, And Generally Thoughtless, Quick, Automatic Photography, I Think That There Is An Interest In The Slowed Down, Thoughtful Approach.

I'm Very Involved In Photographing America Now, So I Don't Think Of Faraway Places, As I Did When I Was Young.
