I wake to sleet and snow and good clouds. I wear my body and mind down until the struggles of yesterday become the breakthroughs of today and the bag of exposed film grows in my pack. Art could be said to be the exploration of self and the world and the job of the artist is to walk to the side. To observe and open themselves up to experiencing the uncomfortable realities of whatever it is that’s being expressed. To be a landscape photographer is to do these things out here, in the wilderness, in the spaces where the imagination has freedom to roam. I was often asked what I was shooting, and I’d look around and look back at them and say, you’re in it. That feeling, right now, looking up at rising granite spires that look too something to be real, the very smallness they invoke, the very love of a place that has affected so many and been my personal inspiration for half my life.
