Not Everybody Trusts Paintings But People Believe

There Still Is Some Opposition To It In Some Museums And Art Schools, But I Think Photography Has Really Grown Into A Mature Art Form.

Photography, As A Powerful Medium Of Expression And Communications, Offers An Infinite Variety Of Perception, Interpretation And Execution.

I Know The Importance Of Highly Trained Awareness Of The “moment” And The Immediate And Intuitive Response Of The Photographer. It Should Be Obvious To All That Photographers Whose Images Possess Character And Quality Have Attained Them Only By Continued Practice And Total Dedication To The Medium.

We Either Have Wild Places Or We Don't. We Admit The Spiritual-emotional Validity Of Wild, Beautiful Places Or We Don't. We Have A Philosophy Of Simplicity Of Experience In These Wild Places Or We Don't. We Admit An Almost Religious Devotion To The Clean Exposition Of The Wild, Natural Earth Or We Don't.

In My Mind's Eye, I Visualize How A Particular... Sight And Feeling Will Appear On A Print. If It Excites Me, There Is A Good Chance It Will Make A Good Photograph. It Is An Intuitive Sense, An Ability That Comes From A Lot Of Practice.
