Today, We Must Realize That Nature Is

A Photograph Is Not An Accident - Is A Concept. It Exists At, Or Before, The Moment Of Exposure Of The Negative.

I Know Some Photographs That Are Extraodrinary In Their Power And Conviction, But It Is Difficult In Photography To Overcome The Superficial Power Or Subject; The Concept And Statement Must Be Quite Convincing In Themselves To Win Over A Dramatic And Compelling Subject Situation.

I Eagerly Await New Concepts And Processes. I Believe That The Electronic Image Will Be The Next Major Advance. Such Systems Will Have Their Own Inherent And Inescapable Structural Characteristics, And The Artist And Functional Practitioner Will Again Strive To Comprehend And Control Them.

The Artist And The Photographer Seek The Mysteries And The Adventure Of Experience In Nature.

As The Fisherman Depends Upon The Rivers, Lakes And Seas And The Farmer Upon The Land For His Existence, So Does Mankind In General Depend Upon The Beauty Of The World About Him For His Spiritual And Emotional Existence.
