The Only Things In My Life That

I Tried To Keep Both Arts Alive, But The Camera Won. I Found That While The Camera Does Not Express The Soul, Perhaps A Photograph Can!

Photography Is More Than A Medium For Factual Communication Of Ideas. It Is A Creative Art.

Emphasis On Technique Is Justified Only So Far As It Will Simplify And Clarify The Statement Of The Photographer's Concept.

Photography Is An Investigation Of Both The Outer And The Inner Worlds. The First Experiences With The Camera Involve Looking At The World Beyond The Lens, Trusting The Instrument Will 'capture' Something 'seen.' The Terms Shoot And Take Are Not Accidental; They Represent An Attitude Of Conquest And Appropriation. Only When The Photographer Grows Into Perception And Creative Impulse Does The Term Make Define A Condition Of Empathy Between The External And The Internal Events.

The Herculean Task Of A Photographer Is To Capture A Momentary Frame As Beautiful In Reality, As It Would Be In A Dream.
