When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.

In my view you cannot claim to have seen something until you have photographed it.

It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.

What you resist, persists.

It is hard to be with another's pain if we cannot be with our own. Since I was a child I have always felt a deep sense of responsibility to ease others' pain. But I have discovered that often, beneath this genuine and admirable desire, lies an inability to be with my own sorrow. Several years ago, watching a close friend suffer when a brain aneurysm took away her life as she knew it, I wrote in my journal, "I won't ask much. But if you would just let me save your life, perhaps it will not hurt so much to know I cannot save my own."
