Archaeologists gave the military the idea to use aerial photographs for spying and field survey. We are fortunate that the spatial and spectral resolutions of the imagery available to us are so broadly useful for archaeology.

To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event.

The job of the color photographer is to provide some level of abstraction that can take the image out of the daily.

In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.

Light field photography unleashes the power of the light, to forever change how everyone takes and experiences pictures.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

The most important thing in imaging for me is the dynamic range. The dynamic range means the tones that you can capture from highlights to dark and the bits, the depth of color that you can capture.

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.

I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me.
