depressing light perspective
The suburban West is, from a moral perspective, depressing evidence that we have misused our freedom. There is, however, another aspect to the landscape, an unexpected glory. Over the cheap tracts and littered arroyos one sometimes see a light as clean as that recorded by O'Sullivan. Since it owes nothing to our care, it is an assurance; beauty is final.
land grace matter
All land, no matter what has happened to it, has over it a grace, an absolutely persistent beauty.
now-and-then
Are there grounds now and then for an unironic smile?
cameras individual cases
With a camera, one has to love individual cases.
support records world
I began making pictures because I wanted to record what supports hope: the untranslatable mystery and beauty of the world. Along the way, however, the camera also caught evidence against hope, and I eventually concluded that this, too, belonged in pictures if they were to be truthful and thus useful.
photography art discovery
. . .art is a discovery of harmony, a vision of disparities reconciled, or shape beneath confusion.
photography firsts photographer
Timothy O'Sullivan was, it seems to me, the greatest of the photographers because he understood nature first as architecture.
photography thinking landscape
We rely, I think, on landscape photography to make intelligible to us what we already know.
photography art records
Art does not in fact prove anything. What it does do is record one of those brief times, such as we each have and then each forget, when we are allowed to understand that the Creation is whole.
lonely trying photographer
I've been so lonely trying to become a photographer. If I'd known that before, I don't know if I had the courage to do it again. You get to a point where you feel that you have something that is your own. And if you don't find an audience for it, you are going to burst.
doe
History does not unfold: it piles up.
views stuff skirts
Whatever power there is in the urban pictures is bound to the closeness with which they skirt banality. For a shot to be good — suggestive of more than just what it is — it has to come perilously near being bad, just a view of stuff.
appreciation art silence
Silence is, after all, the context for the deepest appreciation of art: the only important evaluations are finally, personal, interior ones.
photographer tension
The photographer hopes, in brief, to discover a tension so exact that it is peace.
