photography cameras photographer
It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument.
important pieces want
One of the most important pieces of equipment, for the photographer who really wants to improve, is a great big wastepaper basket.
eye heaven temperature
I expect to retire to a fine-grained heaven where the temperatures are always consistent, where the images slide before one's eyes in a continual cascade of form and meaning.
cameras photographer
The camera cannot, but the photographer can.
wife helping help-me
My wife - she could help me get the negs out!
photography weather good-photography
Bad weather makes for good photography.
photography dust filters
I am always surprised when I see several cameras, a gaggle on lenses, filters, meters, et cetera, rattling around in a soft bag with a complement of refuse and dust. Sometimes the professional is the worst offender!
photography destiny firsts
I knew my destiny when I first experienced Yosemite.
photography men giving
It is just as important to bring people the evidence of the beauty of the world of nature and of man as it is to give them a document of ugliness, squalor, and despair.
built
I’m interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without.
may sake earth
We who are gathered here may represent a particular delete, not of money and power, but of concern for the earth for the earth's sake.
photography black-and-white color
...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.
knowing earth unions
The disciples are drawn to the high altars with magnetic certainty, knowing that a great Presence hovers over the ranges ... You were within the portals of the temple ... to enter the wilderness and seek, in the primal patterns of nature, a magical union with beauty.
photography simple technique
The technique of 35mm photography appears simple. One is beguiled by the quick viewing and operation, and by the very questionable inclination to make many pictures with the hope that some will be good.
