“With all art expression, when something is seen, it is a vivid experience, sudden, compelling, and inevitable.”

It is my intention to present – through the medium of photography – intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.

A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into.

In my mind’s eye, I visualize how a particular… sight and feeling will appear on a print. If it excites me, there is a good chance it will make a good photograph. It is an intuitive sense, an ability that comes from a lot of practice.

It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.

I think we can not categorize. Things do not fit into a mold.

I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through fabric of illusion.

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels…

Ask yourself, ‘Why am I seeing and feeling this? How am I growing? What am I learning?’ Remember: Every coincidence is potentially meaningful.

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.

Some photographers take reality and impose the domination of their own thought and spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer – and often the supreme disappointment.

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful – an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

Millions of men have lived to fight, build palaces and boundaries, shape destinies and societies; but the compelling force of all times has been the force of originality and creation profoundly affecting the roots of human spirit.
