Photography teaches us to see, and we can see whatever we wish. When I take a photograph, I make a wish. I was always looking for beauty.

I try to take my interests and make them my work.

It's never as good the second time. Things don't get better. You can't always go back, a lot of it has been erased. The photograph is a record of it having existed.

The thing itself photographed becomes less interesting when you go back to it years later but I think the photograph becomes more important later when the reality has passed.

My taking pictures means I'm taking a series of pictures which become an essay and then get extended into a book. That's what's exciting, to take an idea and work it through to completion.

I don't speak emotionally about my pictures. That's for other people to do. I will say that I love my photographs. That's what keeps me going.

Don't wake me for the end of the world unless it has very good special effects.

Meditation practice is how we discover basic goodness and learn to cultivate bodhichitta. With this view, practice, and activity, even the most mundane situation becomes a vehicle for awakening.

Life is the opportunity to create moments of wonder.

Like anyone who goes to college, you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.

In both business and personal life, I've always found that travel inspires me more than anything else I do.

I am most alive when I let myself be touched by the fingers of life.

The game of science can accurately be described as a never-ending insult to human intelligence.

I enjoy nakedness. I am a bit of a naturist at heart.

Suffering is a call for inquiry, all pain needs investigation.

I keep on fighting...but I can't keep going on this way
