Light
|
Nov 07, 2020

I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a 'record shot'. My first thought is always of light.

Experiencing
|
Nov 07, 2020

I began taking pictures in the natural world to be able to show people what I was experiencing when I climbed and explored in Yosemite in the High Sierra.

Nov 07, 2020

I began to realise that film sees the world differently than the human eye, and that sometimes those differences can make a photograph more powerful than what you actually observed.

Component
|
Nov 07, 2020

My mountaineering skills are not important to my best photographs, but they do add a component to my work that is definitely a bit different than that of most photographers.

Light
|
Nov 07, 2020

Wanting to take a light camera with me when I climb or do mountain runs has kept me using exclusively 35 mm.

Mind
|
Nov 07, 2020

What I mean by photographing as a participant rather than observer is that I'm not only involved directly with some of the activities that I photograph, such as mountain climbing, but even when I'm not I have the philosophy that my mind and body are part of the natural world.

Exchanging
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm exchanging molecules every 30 days with the natural world and in a spiritual sense I know I am a part of it and take my photographs from that emotional feeling within me, rather than from an emotional distance as a spectator.

Brain
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think that cognitive scientists would support the view that our visual system does not directly represent what is out there in the world and that our brain constructs a lot of the imagery that we believe we are seeing.

Human
|
Nov 07, 2020

When we tune in to an especially human way of viewing the landscape powerfully, it resonates with an audience.

Personality
|
Nov 07, 2020

The landscape is like being there with a powerful personality and I'm searching for just the right angles to make that portrait come across as meaningfully as possible.

Landscape
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued.

Nov 07, 2020

I remember when an editor at the National Geographic promised to run about a dozen of my landscape pictures from a story on the John Muir trail as an essay, but when the group of editors got together, someone said that my pictures looked like postcards.

Bedroom
|
Nov 07, 2020

Luckily, many other people tell me how they have had a particular landscape photograph of mine in their office or bedroom for 15 years and it always speaks to them strongly whenever they see it.

Nov 07, 2020

There's no question that photographs communicate more instantly and powerfully than words do, but if you want to communicate a complex concept clearly, you need words, too.

Pictures
|
Nov 07, 2020

The combination of pictures and words together can be really effective, and I began to realise in my career that unless I wrote my own words, then my message was diluted.

Nov 07, 2020

The reason that I keep writing is that all my most powerful messages about the fates of wild places that I care about need to have words as well as images.

Photography
|
Nov 07, 2020

There is no question that photography has played a major role in the environmental movement.

American Tradition
|
Nov 07, 2020

Ever since the 1860s when photographers travelled the American West and brought photographs of scenic wonders back to the people on the East Coast of America we have had a North American tradition of landscape photography used for the environment.

Environmental
|
Nov 07, 2020

These days, most nature photographers are deeply committed to the environmental message.

Give
|
Nov 07, 2020

Today, I'm very careful not to mention very specific locations when I write or give captions.

Nov 07, 2020

A lot of people think that when you have grand scenery, such as you have in Yosemite, that photography must be easy.

Light
|
Nov 07, 2020

I find it some of the hardest photography and the most challenging photography I've ever done. It's a real challenge to work with the natural features and the natural light.

Better
|
Nov 07, 2020

And most of my early pictures failed but about one in a 100 somehow looked better than what I saw.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like to feel that all my best photographs had strong personal visions and that a photograph that doesn't have a personal vision or doesn't communicate emotion fails.

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

My first thought is always of light.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it.

Fighting
|
Nov 07, 2020

If we limit our vision to the real world, we will forever be fighting on the minus side of things, working only too make our photographs equal to what we see out there, but no better.
