Where There Is No Emotion, There Is

A Life Is Like A Garden. Perfect Moments Can Be Had, But Not Preserved, Except In Memory.

What Mark Will I Leave Behind? How Will Anyone Know I Have Been Here? What Sign Will Tell The Future Traveler I Existed? 'i Am Here! Today... I Exist'. I Believe The Deepest Impression Is Made In Those Moments When I Can Say 'i Care, I Love'.

Which Is Probably The Reason Why I Work Exclusively In Black And White... To Highlight That Contrast.

I've Been Doing Photography In One Form Or Another For, Oh Golly, Over Seventy Years. I Don't Carry Cameras. I Used To. For Many Years I Carried Cameras Wherever I Went. Photograph Whatever I Saw That Was Of Interest. In The Last Years, I've Only Used Cameras To Explore Thematic Ideas Which Presented Themselves First. And Then Bring Out The Cameras To Try To Explore That Idea.

My Memory Of Those Places Is Better Than My Pictures. That's Why I Get Much More Satisfaction Out Of Shooting Thematic Work That Has To Do With An Idea That I'm Searching For, Or Searching To Express.
