A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy.

You only get one sunrise and one sunset a day, and you only get so many days on the planet. A good photographer does the math and doesn't waste either.

I began to realize that the camera sees the world differently than the human eye and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed.

When the magic hour arrives, my thoughts center on light rather than on the landscape. I search for perfect light, then hunt for something earthbound to match with it.

I find it some of the hardest photography and the most challenging photography I've ever done. It's a real challenge to work with the natural features and the natural light.

My mountaineering skills are not important to my best photographs, but they do add a component to my work that is definitely a bit different than that of most photographers.

Memory selects single important images, just as the camera does. In that manner both are able to isolate the highest moments of living.

The most interesting parts of the natural world are the edges, places where ocean meets land, meadow meets forest, timberline touches the heights.

I began taking pictures in the natural world to be able to show people what I was experiencing when I climbed and explored in Yosemite in the High Sierra.

I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn't have a personal vision or doesn't communicate emotion fails.

The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible.

Happiness is being famous for your financial ability to indulge in every kind of excess.

Have no regrets in life because of the choices you make. Good or bad, they are a learning experience, to help you grow. The only regret in life, is to never make a choice at all.

Every new friend is a new journey, through a brand new road, toward a brand new mysterious heart.

A company is only as good as the people it keeps.

Find out how much God has given you and from it take what you need the remainder is needed by others.

Night and day, you are the one.

My acting coach breaks down what happens to people's bodies when they do drugs. She breaks down what happens physiologically to you.

In my mind I still qualify as punk, though I know four out of five punks would disagree.

The father of every good work is discontent, and its mother is diligence.

they ask me to remember but they want me to remember their memories and I keep on remembering mine
