My First Thought Is Always

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.

I Began To Realize That The Camera Sees The World Differently Than The Human Eye And That Sometimes Those Differences Can Make A Photograph More Powerful Than What You Actually Observed.

We Mountaineers Always Live With The Feeling That We Came On The Scene Too Late.

One Of The Biggest Mistakes A Photographer Can Make Is To Look At The Real World And Cling To The Vain Hope That Next Time His Film Will Somehow Bear A Closer Resemblance To It...if We Limit Our Vision To The Real World, We Will Forever Be Fighting On The Minus Side Of Things, Working Only Too Make Our Photographs Equal To What We See Out There, But No Better.

I Find It Some Of The Hardest Photography And The Most Challenging Photography I've Ever Done. It's A Real Challenge To Work With The Natural Features And The Natural Light.
