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

I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued.

My first thought is always of light.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
