A Good Photograph Is Knowing

Myths And Creeds Are Heroic Struggles To Comprehend The Truth In The World.

I Believe The Approach Of The Artist And The Approach Of The Environmentalist Are Fairly Close In That Both Are, To A Rather Impressive Degree, Concerned With The Affirmation Of Life.

Art Is Both The Taking And Giving Of Beauty; The Turning Out To The Light The Inner Folds Of The Awareness Of The Spirit. It Is The Recreation On Another Plane Of The Realities Of The World; The Tragic And Wonderful Realities Of Earth And Men, And Of All The Inter-relations Of These.

When I'm Ready To Make A Photograph, I Think I Quite Obviously See In My Minds Eye Something That Is Not Literally There In The True Meaning Of The Word. I'm Interested In Something Which Is Built Up From Within, Rather Than Just Extracted From Without.

A True Photograph Need Not Be Explained, Nor Can It Be Contained In Words.
