You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

And in fact I don't believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. That's why I love it so much.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.

What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.
