Theres No Question That Photographs Communicate More

And Most Of My Early Pictures Failed But About One In A 100 Somehow Looked Better Than What I Saw.

I Like To Feel That All My Best Photographs Had Strong Personal Visions And That A Photograph That Doesn't Have A Personal Vision Or Doesn't Communicate Emotion Fails.

The Landscape Is Like Being There With A Powerful Personality And I'm Searching For Just The Right Angles To Make That Portrait Come Across As Meaningfully As Possible.

My Interest In Photography Did Not Begin With Books Or Mentors, Or With Any Burning Desire To See The World Through A Camera. It Evolved From An Intense Devotion To Mountains And Wilderness That Eventually Shaped All The Parts Of My Life And Brought Them Together.

My Advice For Climbers Or Photographers Is To Really Tune Into Your Own Passions And Not Just What Other People Are Doing Or Aren't Doing. Figure Out What Works For You, What Turns You On, What Gives You The Greatest Amount Of Energy And Feeling Of Satisfaction.
