With A Camera, One Has To Love

How Can We Hope, After All, To See A Tree Or Rock Or Clear North Sky If We Do Not Adopt A Little Of Their Mode Of Life, A Little Of Their Time? If The Time It Takes To Cross Space Is A Way By Which We Define It, Then To Arrive At A View Of Space “in No Time” Is To Have Denied Its Reality

If I Like Many Photographers, And I Do, I Account For This By Noting A Quality They Share - Animation. They May Or May Not Make A Living By Photography, But They Are Alive By It.

Timothy O'sullivan Was, It Seems To Me, The Greatest Of The Photographers Because He Understood Nature First As Architecture.

Part Of The Reason That These Attempts At Explanation Fail, I Think, Is That Photographers, Like All Artists, Choose Their Medium Because It Allows Them The Most Fully Truthful Expression Of Their Vision... As Robert Frost Told A Person Who Asked Him What One Of His Poems Meant, 'you Want Me To Say It Worse?'

The History Of Art Is Filled With People Who Did Not Live Long Enough To Enjoy A Sympathetic Public, And Their Misery Argues That Criticism Should Try To Speed Justice.
