You Don't Take A Photograph, You Make

This Profession [photography] Is Deserving Of Attention And Respect Equal To That Accorded Painting, Literature, Music And Architecture.

The Single Most Important Component Of A Camera Is The Twelve Inches Behind It!

Yosemite Valley, To Me, Is Always A Sunrise, A Glitter Of Green And Golden Wonder In A Vast Edifice Of Stone And Space.

I Can't Verbalize The Internal Meaning Of Pictures Whatsoever. Some Of My Friends Can At Very Mystical Levels, But I Prefer To Say That, If I Feel Something Strongly, I Would Make A Photograph, That Would Be The Equivalent Of What I Saw And Felt.

It Is All Very Beautiful And Magical Here - A Quality Which Cannot Be Described. You Have To Live It And Breathe It, Let The Sun Bake Into You.
