To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things.
From Ansel Adams
Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.
Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.
When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
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.
A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.
You don't take a photograph, you make it.
It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.
There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.
