I Would Like To Go To Antarctica.

I Did A Story For The Geographic On Meriwether Lewis And William Clark, And Stephen Ambrose Was The Writer. He Said, "i've Got The Easiest Job In The World. I Just Have To Re-tell The Story Of The Greatest Fishing, Camping, Hunting, Canoeing Trip Of All Time. You, Sam, Have The Hardest Job, Which Is, Pretend Like Nothing Has Happened In The Last 200 Years.

There Are Things That I Teach, About Building Photographs, And That's Why People Come To My Workshops. When People Come To The Workshops, They're Consumed With Seeking The Subject, And I Teach Seeking The Setting.

'woman On The Plaza,' With Its Distinct Horizon, Snow-like Surfaces, Wintry Wall, Stunning Sunlight, Sharp Shadows, And Hurrying Figure, Would Become The Most Biographical Of My Photographs - An Abstract Image Of The Landscape And Life Of Northern Ohio Where I Grew Up And First Practiced Photography.

As I Have Practiced It, Photography Produces Pleasure By Simplicity. I See Something Special And Show It To The Camera. A Picture Is Produced. The Moment Is Held Until Someone Sees It. Then It Is Theirs.

I Think That It's Workshops, Honestly, That Have Kept Me Keen About Photography, And About My Photography. My Career As A Workshop Photographer Came While I Was At The Geographic In The Late 70's, And Has Continued Consistently Since Then.
