My Connection To Santa Fe Is Very

When Assignments Were Over, Photography Continued. One Of The Primary Reasons It Did Was That I Wanted And Needed To Have Fresh Work. Also, It's Very Stimulating To Be Around Non-professional Photographers. They're The Ones With The Purest Flame Burning About Their Photography. I Appreciate That.

Even Though I Teach With 35mm, My Method Takes People By Surprise, Because It Isn't Fast, And It Isn't About Hardware Or Software, Or Even Great Results. It's About Great Process.

"you Know You Are Seeing Such A Photograph If You Say To Yourself, "i Could Have Taken That Picture. I've Seen Such A Scene Before, But Never Like That." It Is The Kind Of Photography That Relies For Its Strengths Not On Special Equipment Or Effects But On The Intensity Of The Photographer's Seeing. It Is The Kind Of Photography In Which The Raw Materials-light, Space, And Shape-are Arranged In A Meaningful And Even Universal Way That Gives Grace To Ordinary Objects."

Typically I See It With Photographers Who Go To A Place Like India Or Nepal, And Everything's So Colorful And Exotic And They Think, Therefore, A Picture's Been Taken.

My Connection To Santa Fe Is Very Closely, And Continuously A Connection With Reid. I Believe In Him And His Philosophy Of Photographic Education.
