I Never Know In Advance What I Will Photograph,...i Go Out Into The World And Hope I Will Come Across Something That Imperatively Interests Me. I Am Addicted To The Found Object. I Have No Doubt That I Will Continue To Make Photographs Till My Last Breath.

It Is Increasingly Clear To Me That My Art Relates More And More To A Sublimation Of My Closeness To The Natural World, It's Events, Light Itself, And The Positive It Is A Personal Expression Based On Observation And Reaction, That I Am Not Able To Define Except In Terms Of The Work Itself.

We All Know The Tragedy Of The Dustbowls, The Cruel Unforgivable Erosions Of The Soil, The Depletion Of Fish Or Game, And The Shrinking Of The Noble Forests. And We Know That Such Catastrophes Shrivel The Spirit Of The People... The Wilderness Is Pushed Back, Man Is Everywhere. Solitude, So Vital To The Individual Man, Is Almost Nowhere.

It Is The Photographer, Not The Camera, That Is The Instrument.

Photography Is More Than A Medium For Factual Communication Of Ideas. It Is A Creative Art.
