I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

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 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.

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

You don't have to sort of enhance reality. There is nothing stranger than truth.

What has stayed true all the way through my work is my composition, I hope, and my sense of color.

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

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

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