It Had Rained On Some Vivid Green Ferns In Maine And It Was Quite Beautiful. I Was Moving The Camera Slightly And Studying The Ground Glass. Looking At Those 20 Square Inches, Trying To Find Out Just What Were The Right Elements To Include.

I Think The Greatest Photographers Are The Amateur Photographers Who Do It Because They Love It. Arnold Newman Is A Good Example; He Is A Consummate Professional, But He's Also An 'amateur' In The Pure Sense Of The Word.

Whatever It Takes To Get The Image To Reach That Level Is What That Photographer Needs To Do. And For Me, I Just Have Such A Love Of The Tactile And Sensuous Quality Of A Black And White Silver Gelatin Print.
