The Secret To Peace-of-mind Is To Not

I Thought I Was Taking Pictures Of Things That I Hated. But There Was Something About These Pictures. They Were Unexpectedly, Disconcertingly Glorious.

Little Wonder That We. . .find The Old Pictures Of Openness - Pictures Usually Without Any Blur, And Made By What Seems A Ritual Of Patience - Wonderful. They Restore To Us Knowledge Of A Place We Seek But Lose In The Rush Of Our Search. Though To Enjoy Even The Pictures, Much Less The Space Itself, Requires That We Be Still Longer Than Is Our Custom.

Darkroom Work Had, After All, Never Interested Me Except As A Means To An End; The Place I Wanted To Be Was Outside In The Light.

Again The Important Point To Remember Is That You Should Keep Asking Yourself Questions. Do Not Make Statements. Ask Questions To Yourself. The Mind Hates That.

Nature Photography... That Acknowledges What Is Wrong, Is Admittedly Sometimes Hard To Bear - It Has To Encompass Our Mistakes. Yet In The Long Run, It Is Important; In Order To Endure Our Age Of Apocalypse, We Have To Be Reconciled Not Only To Avalanche And Hurricane, But To Ourselves.
