Moreover, photography has made it possible to fix these images and now provides us with a permanent record of each observed spectrum, which can be measured out at any time.
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
With photography, you are lucky if you get people to look at your pictures at some point. There's no formal way to show them.
Photography acts as a teaser, suggesting we can know something that we can never know. And the more we can't obtain it, the more we want it.
My love of photography is melded with the ability to capture what I want to remember in the moment I want to never forget.
There is in fact something obscene and sinister about photography, a desire to imprison, to incorporate, a sexual intensity of pursuit.
In 1979, I received a phone call from Ansel Adams asking me if I would be willing to consider coming to work for him. I was teaching photography in Southern California at that point.

I used to do a lot of casual photography - back in the olden times when one used film - but it had fallen by the wayside over the years.
I became enamored with photography when I was about 13 or 14 years old. I've been at it ever since. I studied seriously in the '70s.
