“Whatever I have given, I have gained.”

I deal with this spiritual issue every day – either shooting or processing or sorting or discussing or having conversations – I’m in constant contact with it.

I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time.

It is important to understand what are you trying to capture with a camera. What you want to use this tool for. It helps to begin to search for and concentrate on thematic photography.

Spock is definitely one of my best friends. When I put on those ears, it’s not like just another day. When I become Spock, that day becomes something special.

What I’m exploring right now is the subject of my own mortality, It’s an area that I’m curious about, and I’m researching it to see if there’s a photographic essay in it for me. If images don’t start to come, I’ll go to something else.

Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.

Because I have known despair, I value hope. Because I have tasted frustration, I value fulfillment. Because I have been lonely, I value love.

These are beautiful days. Folks ask what I’m doing. I tell them I’m doing family.

May I say that I have not thoroughly enjoyed serving with humans? I find their illogic and foolish emotions a constant irritant.

I think it’s my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may.

If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

I believe in goodness, mercy and charity. I believe in casting bread upon the waters.

The miracle is this – the more you give, the more you have.

The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have.

That’s true, because I’m a photographer now.

That’s the most difficult issue for me – to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I’m prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject.

From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.

There is nothing more extravagant than a generous heart.

The hand of liberality is stronger than the arm of power.

When Love gives, it gives all; when it takes, it takes all. It’s very taking is giving.

When we are being kind to someone, we are being kind to ourselves too.

The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.

A religion that gives nothing, costs nothing, and suffers nothing, is worth nothing.

Alms in secret extinguish the wrath of the Lord’ means you are so immersed in sincerity and in preserving that sincerity that you have no pleasure in giving alms.
