I Began To Realize That The Camera

My Advice For Climbers Or Photographers Is To Really Tune Into Your Own Passions And Not Just What Other People Are Doing Or Aren't Doing. Figure Out What Works For You, What Turns You On, What Gives You The Greatest Amount Of Energy And Feeling Of Satisfaction.

My Interest In Photography Did Not Begin With Books Or Mentors, Or With Any Burning Desire To See The World Through A Camera. It Evolved From An Intense Devotion To Mountains And Wilderness That Eventually Shaped All The Parts Of My Life And Brought Them Together.

Theres No Question That Photographs Communicate More Instantly And Powerfully Than Words Do, But If You Want To Communicate A Complex Concept Clearly, You Need Words, Too.

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

I Think That Cognitive Scientists Would Support The View That Our Visual System Does Not Directly Represent What Is Out There In The World And That Our Brain Constructs A Lot Of The Imagery That We Believe We Are Seeing.
