We Mountaineers Always Live With The Feeling That We Came On The Scene Too Late.

Often When I Walked Alone In The Mountains, I Tried To Make Sense Out Of The Two Halves Of My Life. What Went On In The City During The Week Seemed Chaotic And Unrelated To The Events In My Mountain World.

You Only Get One Sunrise And One Sunset A Day, And You Only Get So Many Days On The Planet. A Good Photographer Does The Math And Doesn't Waste Either.

I Began Taking Pictures In The Natural World To Be Able To Show People What I Was Experiencing When I Climbed And Explored In Yosemite In The High Sierra.

I Began To Realize That The Camera Sees The World Differently Than The Human Eye And That Sometimes Those Differences Can Make A Photograph More Powerful Than What You Actually Observed.
