I've been shooting photos for over 50 years, and each one is a precious capture of light and memory. It's what I do when I'm exploring, cooking, walking, comtemplating. I even had to photograph the officer who gave me my first traffic ticket.

I have shot from tops of mountains and under water. From and through parts of buildings, bridges, cars, and trees. I have shot distant landscapes, thousands of people, and close-up insects and bird wings.

I'll stop shooting after you take the camera from my old, dead hands.
