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

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.

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.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.

If you see how a plant grows and you taste it in situ you have a perfect example of how it should taste on the plate.

There are two ways love can go. You can be good to each other or you could not play fair.
