I support any procedure that allows photographers to express themselves, whether that involves color, black and white, platinum, palladium and digital technology.

For me the printing process is part of the magic of photography. It's that magic that can be exciting, disappointing, rewarding and frustrating all in the same few moments in the darkroom.

I really don't have any secrets. I've never met a photographer whose work I respected that had a secret because the secret lies within each and every one of us.

It's nice to share something you're really proud of and worked hard on.

If you consciously say 'I won't do it!' to yourself, then you have a good chance that you won't.

I watched the way you watch when you know you want to remember.

When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.

I must have done everything I had. You go through years where you go through everything you've ever written
