I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

   

Coming tight was boring to me, just the face... it didn't have enough information.

   

The work which is manipulated looks a little boring to me. I think life is pretty strange anyway. It is wooo, wooo, wooo!

   

There must be a reason why photographers are not very good at verbal communication. I think we get lazy.

   

When I take a picture I take 10 percent of what I see.

   

It's a heavy weight, the camera. Now we have modern and lightweight, small plastic cameras, but in the '70s they were heavy metal.

   

I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall.

   

A very subtle difference can make the picture or not.

   

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.

   

The pictures of my family were designed to be on a family wall, they were supposed to be together. It was supposed to copy my mother's wall in her house.

   

Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.

   

Everyone keeps asking you for pictures, and after a while you get tired of that. I always say, They are in the archives.

   

My lens of choice was always the 35 mm. It was more environmental. You can't come in closer with the 35 mm.

   

What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures. It is so emotional.

   

If I didn't have my camera to remind me constantly, I am here to do this, I would eventually have slipped away, I think. I would have forgotten my reason to exist.

   

It's hard to watch something go on and be talking at the same time.

   

When you are younger, the camera is like a friend and you can go places and feel like you're with someone, like you have a companion.

   

The camera makes you forget you're there. It's not like you are hiding but you forget, you are just looking so much.

   

I shoot a little bit, maybe two rolls, medium format, which is 20 pictures, and if it's not working, I change the position.

   

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.
