We All Move On The Fringes Of

I Think Photography Is Being Recognized And Collected. Its Values Have Certainly Gone Up And Continue To Go Up.

No Man Has The Right To Dictate What Other Men Should Perceive, Create Or Produce, But All Should Be Encouraged To Reveal Themselves, Their Perceptions And Emotions, And To Build Confidence In The Creative Spirit.

Photography Has Escalated Almost Exponentially! It Is A Language Which Covers Almost Every Aspect Of Communication; Factual And Expressive.

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space. I Know Of No Sculpture, Painting Or Music That Exceeds The Compelling Spiritual Command Of The Soaring Shape Of Granite Cliff And Dome, Of Patina Of Light On Rock And Forest, And Of The Thunder And Whispering Of The Falling, Flowing Waters. At First The Colossal Aspect May Dominate; Then We Perceive And Respond To The Delicate And Persuasive Complex Of Nature.

I Have Often Thought That If Photography Were Difficult In The True Sense Of The Term - Meaning That The Creation Of A Simple Photograph Would Entail As Much Time And Effort As The Production Of A Good Watercolor Or Etching - There Would Be A Vast Improvement In Total Output. The Sheer Ease With Which We Can Produce A Superficial Image Often Leads To Creative Disaster.
