Photography And Photographers Have An Inevitable Development.

Both The Grand And The Intimate Aspects Of Nature Can Be Revealed In The Expressive Photograph. Both Can Stir Enduring Affirmations And Discoveries, And Can Surely Help The Spectator In His Search For Identification With The Vast World Of Natural Beauty And Wonder Surrounding Him.

When I'm Ready To Make A Photograph, I Think I Quite Obviously See In My Minds Eye Something That Is Not Literally There In The True Meaning Of The Word. I'm Interested In Something Which Is Built Up From Within, Rather Than Just Extracted From Without.

The Next Time You Pick Up A Camera Think Of It Not As An Inflexible And Automated Robot, But As A Flexible Instrument Which You Must Understand To Properly Use. An Electronic And Optical Miracle Creates Nothing On Its Own! Whatever Beauty And Excitement It Can Represent Exist In Your Mind And Spirit To Begin With.

A Photograph Is Not An Accident - Is A Concept. It Exists At, Or Before, The Moment Of Exposure Of The Negative.
