photography thinking alive
I think I came alive when I started photography.
photography thinking expression
I realize that we all do express ourselves, but those who express that which is always being done are those whose thinking is almost in every way in accord with everyone else. Expression on this basis has become dull to those who wish to think for themselves.
thinking artist want
I think nearly every artist continually wants to reach the edge of nothingness - the point where you can’t go any further.
photography simple way
I like the simple things. I don't know why. I'm that way. I came from a simple place.
morning sky people
My project could be only to photograph as I felt and desired, to regulate a pleasant form of living, to get up in the morning-free, to feel the trees, the grass, the water, sky or buildings, people-everything that affects us; and to photograph that which I saw and have always felt.
photography technique mystery
The mystery isn't in the technique, it's in each of us.
photography forever goes-on
I can tell you for me it goes on forever. There are some things you can't ever find out. You can't find out in one life either.
photography mysterious i-can
I can't say what makes a picture. I can't say. It's mysterious.
photography prayer
A picture is like a prayer.
photography believe people
I do believe strongly in photography and hope by following it intuitively that when the photographs are looked at they will touch the spirit in people.
inspirational men classic-films
A man's got to know his limitations.
photography prayer offering
A picture is like a prayer; you're offering a prayer to get something, and in a sense it's like a gift of God because you have practically no control-at least I don't.
journey matter
Only the journey matters.
mind legends
You're a legend in your own mind.
