There Is Nothing Worse Than A Sharp

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.

...one Sees Differently With Color Photography Than Black-and-white... In Short, Visualization Must Be Modified By The Specific Nature Of The Equipment And Materials Being Used.

Bad Weather Makes For Good Photography.

There Are No Forms In Nature. Nature Is A Vast, Chaotic Collection Of Shapes. You As An Artist Create Configurations Out Of Chaos. You Make A Formal Statement Where There Was None To Begin With. All Art Is A Combination Of An External Event And An Internal Event… I Make A Photograph To Give You The Equivalent Of What I Felt. Equivalent Is Still The Best Word.

The [35mm] Camera Is For Life And For People, The Swift And Intense Moments Of Life.
