You See What You Think, You See

In Every Artist There Is Poetry. In Every Human Being There Is The Poetic Element. We Know, We Feel, We Believe.

The Camera Only Facilitates The Taking. The Photographer Must Do The Giving In Order To Transform And Transcend Ordinary Reality. The Problem Is To Transform Without Deforming. He Must Gain Intensity In Form And Content By Bringing A Subjective Order Into An Objective Chaos.

The Best Pictures Differentiate Themselves By Nuances...a Tiny Relationship - Either A Harmony Or A Disharmony - That Creates A Picture.

Bored With Obvious Reality, I Find My Fascination In Transforming It Into A Subjective Point Of View. Without Touching My Subject I Want To Come To The Moment When, Through Pure Concentration Of Seeing, The Composed Picture Becomes More Made Than Taken. Without A Descriptive Caption To Justify Its Existence, It Will Speak For Itself - Less Descriptive, More Creative; Less Informative, More Suggestive - Less Prose, More Poetry.

The Artist Must Express The Summation Of His Feeling, Knowing And Believing Through The Unity Of His Life And Work.
