The Craft Of Photography Is The Key

Photography And Photographers Have An Inevitable Development. They Progress More Or Less By Steps. Every Five Or Ten Years Some New Point Of View Is Developed And Young People Are Inclined To Follow It.

The Camera Cannot, But The Photographer Can.

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.
