I have often had a retrospective vision where everything in my past life seems to fall with significance into logical sequence.

You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.

It is horrifying that we have to fight our own government to save the environment.

I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful - an endless prospect of magic and wonder.

Landscape photography is the supreme test of the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment.

Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it!

A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words.

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.

I believe photography is a tool to express our positive assessment of the world. A tool to acquire ultimate happiness and belief.

I am the rightful ruler of this world And now that I, too, have awakened, like my dragons, I have come to take back what is mine.

And he shall reign a goodly king And sway his hand o'er every clime With peace writ on his signet ring Who bides his time.

I love to shop after a bad relationship. I don't know. I buy a new outfit and it makes me feel better. It just does. Sometimes I see a really great outfit, I'll break up with someone on purpose.

There's nothing that you like in this world that wasn't influenced by a bunch of key things; nothing came completely clean out of a vacuum.

I am not superwoman. The reality of my daily life is that I am juggling a lot of balls in the air? And sometimes some of the balls get dropped.

The sea appears all golden. Beneath the sun-lit sky.

Being willing to suffer often brings great rewards.

I am still hopeful. A falcon, Time. But the coincidence is probably accidental.

We all have in our hearts some areas of unbelief. Let us say to the Lord: I believe! Help my unbelief.

If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter.
