The herculean task of a photographer is to capture a momentary frame as beautiful in reality, as it would be in a dream. - Ansel Adams

I would never apologize for photographing rocks. Rocks can be very beautiful. But, yes, people have asked why I don’t put people into my pictures of the natural scene. I respond, “There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.” That usually doesn’t go over at all.

A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in the deepest sense, and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety.

It is horrifying that we have to fight our own Government to save the environment.
