The Herculean Task Of A Photographer Is

To The Vast Majority Of People A Photograph Is An Image Of Something Within Their Direct Experience: A More-or-less Factual Reality. It Is Difficult For Them To Realize That The Photograph Can Be The Source Of Experience, As Well As The Reflection Of Spiritual Awareness Of The World And Of Self.

To Visualize An Image (in Whole Or In Part) Is To See Clearly In The Mind Prior To Exposure, A Continuous Projection From Composing The Image Through The Final Print.

A Photograph Is Usually Looked At - Seldom Looked Into.

No Matter How Sophisticated You May Be, A Large Granite Mountain Cannot Be Denied - It Speaks In Silence To The Very Core Of Your Being.

I Believe The Approach Of The Artist And The Approach Of The Environmentalist Are Fairly Close In That Both Are, To A Rather Impressive Degree, Concerned With The Affirmation Of Life.
