#photograph

If I am at a party, I want to be at the party. Too many photographers use the camera to avoid participating in things. They become professional observers. ↗

With photography, you zero in; you put a lot of energy into short moments, and then you go on to the next thing. ↗

I think landscape photography in general is somewhat undervalued. ↗

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

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. ↗

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. ↗

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. ↗
