How my Photographs are made:
When I take pictures I think of the old photographic masters and their sacrifice. They spent hours in the field waiting on just the right light, but they were rewarded with images that stand the test of time.
I put a lot of effort into producing photographs of quality. A good print can take just a few minutes to produce. But a great print can easily take several hours or even days of painstakingly slow fine-tuning.
The digital process, although very powerful, cannot replace passion and perseverance. The way to obtain a great photograph is, and always will be, to return numerous times to the same spot, hoping to be there with your camera ready, when the right light arrives.
That magic light that you have been dreaming about for weeks, months, even years... finally glowing in front of you as the final reward. It lasts a few moments, and is gone forever...
