There Is No Question That Photography Has

Theres No Question That Photographs Communicate More Instantly And Powerfully Than Words Do, But If You Want To Communicate A Complex Concept Clearly, You Need Words, Too.

My Interest In Photography Did Not Begin With Books Or Mentors, Or With Any Burning Desire To See The World Through A Camera. It Evolved From An Intense Devotion To Mountains And Wilderness That Eventually Shaped All The Parts Of My Life And Brought Them Together.

Memory Selects Single Important Images, Just As The Camera Does. In That Manner Both Are Able To Isolate The Highest Moments Of Living.

When The Magic Hour Arrives, My Thoughts Center On Light Rather Than On The Landscape. I Search For Perfect Light, Then Hunt For Something Earthbound To Match With It.

One Of The Biggest Mistakes A Photographer Can Make Is To Look At The Real World And Cling To The Vain Hope That Next Time His Film Will Somehow Bear A Closer Resemblance To It...if We Limit Our Vision To The Real World, We Will Forever Be Fighting On The Minus Side Of Things, Working Only Too Make Our Photographs Equal To What We See Out There, But No Better.
