Photography is a way of putting distance between myself and the work which sometimes helps me to see more clearly what it is that I have made.

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

Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world.

How the visual world appears is important to me. I'm always aware of the light. I'm always aware of what I would call the 'deep composition.' Photography in the field is a process of creation, of thought and technique. But ultimately, it's an act of imaginatively seeing from within yourself.

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter.

I can go into the wilderness and not see anyone for days and experience a kind of space that hasn't changed for tens of thousands of years. Having that experience was necessary to my perception of how photography can look at the changes humanity has brought about in the landscape. My work does become a kind of lament.

To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.

My photography is the result of being there at the right moment.

Photography can be a deceitful, superficial medium that leads us into believing something even though we know it's not necessarily true. It lulls us into a false sense of complacency.
