There Is No Question That

Often When I Walked Alone In The Mountains, I Tried To Make Sense Out Of The Two Halves Of My Life. What Went On In The City During The Week Seemed Chaotic And Unrelated To The Events In My Mountain World.

I Began Taking Pictures In The Natural World To Be Able To Show People What I Was Experiencing When I Climbed And Explored In Yosemite In The High Sierra.

And Most Of My Early Pictures Failed But About One In A 100 Somehow Looked Better Than What I Saw.

My First Thought Is Always Of Light.

Ever Since The 1860s When Photographers Travelled The American West And Brought Photographs Of Scenic Wonders Back To The People On The East Coast Of America We Have Had A North American Tradition Of Landscape Photography Used For The Environment.
