In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.

It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators.

Now, when I came on to Washington to begin my job, I was so interested in photography at that time that I really would have preferred to work with Stryker than with my department, which was more artistic if you wish.
