Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan
    You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
    The simplicity of winter has a deep moral. The return of nature, after such a career of splendor and prodigality, to habits so simple and austere, is not lost either upon the head or the heart. It is the philosopher coming back from the banquet and the wine to a cup of water and a crust of bread.
    Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be.
    Come away with me, he said, we will live on a desert island.
I said, I am a desert island. It was not what he had in mind.
    Listen
with the night falling we are saying thank you
    And in the desert cold men invented the star.
    Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
    Nothing was, nothing will be; everything is, everything has existence and is present.
