Actually, Ambition Won't Get You

I Was Giving A Lecture And I Said, That's Enough About The Photographic Life, Meaning My Biography, Now Let's Talk About The Life Of A Photograph. And In That One Instant I Got The Title For A Potential Next Book.

For Spiritual Companions I Have Had The Many Artists Who Have Relied On Nature To Help Shape Their Imagination. And Their Most Elaborate Equipment Was A Deep Reverence For The World Through Which They Passed. Photographers Share Something With These Artists. We Seek Only To See And To Describe With Our Own Voices, And, Though We Are Seldom Heard As Soloists, We Cannot Photograph The World In Any Other Way.

Photographs That Transcend But Do Not Deny Their Literal Situation Appeal To Me.

There Are Things That I Teach, About Building Photographs, And That's Why People Come To My Workshops. When People Come To The Workshops, They're Consumed With Seeking The Subject, And I Teach Seeking The Setting.

The Best Lesson I Was Given Is That All Of Life Teaches, Especially If We Have That Expectation.
