The Negative Is Comparable To

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space. I Know Of No Sculpture, Painting Or Music That Exceeds The Compelling Spiritual Command Of The Soaring Shape Of Granite Cliff And Dome, Of Patina Of Light On Rock And Forest, And Of The Thunder And Whispering Of The Falling, Flowing Waters. At First The Colossal Aspect May Dominate; Then We Perceive And Respond To The Delicate And Persuasive Complex Of Nature.

The Only Things In My Life That Compatibly Exists With This Grand Universe Are The Creative Works Of The Human Spirit.

The ‘machine-gun’ Approach To Photography – By Which Many Negatives Are Made With The Hope That One Will Be Good – Is Fatal To Serious Results.

Photography, As A Powerful Medium Of Expression And Communications, Offers An Infinite Variety Of Perception, Interpretation And Execution.

If You Have Enough Craft, You've Done Your Homework And You're Practiced. You Can Then Make The Photograph You Desire.
