"The things that we preceive as beautiful may be different, but the actual characteristics we ascribe to beautiful objects are similar. Think about it.

It seems almost iridescent compared to the dullness of other objects less attractive."

-- James Redfield

“I donâ€™t get wrapped up in technique and the like. I have a simple rule and that is to spend as much time in the location as possible. You canâ€™t expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years. And in fact I donâ€™t believe there is such a thing as a definitive picture of something. The land is a living, breathing thing and light changes its character every second of every day. Thatâ€™s why I love it so much.”
