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

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.

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

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.

Quality is all about taking care of the details.

Life is so much more about the experience than the destination. One will waste their life if they are waiting to reach a goal to celebrate. Still, it happens all the time.

Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.

If a person doesn't have the capacity that we all want that person to have, I suspect hope is in the far distant future, if at all.

Off with the old and on with the new and never a second's thought between.

Education must be aimed at creating a wider imagination in the child, not at suppressing. The childs mind must be set free.

It made me gladsome to be getting some education, it being like a big window opening.

Birds of a lawless, bigoted feather bully together.

Remember, frustration is out of expectation, and ego is always expecting. The ego is a beggar.

Every woman adores a Fascist, The boot in the face, the brute Brute heart of a brute like you.
