Notebook. No Photographer Should Be Without One!

Photography Has Escalated Almost Exponentially! It Is A Language Which Covers Almost Every Aspect Of Communication; Factual And Expressive.

I Am Probably Afraid That Some Spectator Will Not Understand My Photography - Therefore I Proceed To Make It Really Less Understandable By Writing Defensibly About It.

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space. I Know Of No Sculpture, Painting Or Music That Exceeds The Compelling Spiritual Command Of The Soaring Shape Of Granite Cliff And Dome, Of Patina Of Light On Rock And Forest, And Of The Thunder And Whispering Of The Falling, Flowing Waters. At First The Colossal Aspect May Dominate; Then We Perceive And Respond To The Delicate And Persuasive Complex Of Nature.

There Is Nothing Worse Than A Sharp Image Of A Fuzzy Concept.

Impression Is Not Enough. Design, Style, Technique - These, Too, Are Not Enough. Art Must Reach Further Than Impression Or Self-revelation .
