There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

I'm more interested in being good than being famous.

I went to school at the San Francisco Art Institute, thinking I was going to become an art teacher. Within the first six months I was there, I was told that I couldn't be an art teacher unless I became an artist first.

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.
