"Color photography is coming of age as an art form, making it feasible for photographers to rival the finest painting and exceed the standards set by the finest traditional black & white photography, thanks in large part to stunning advances in the many technologies of modern imaging. The many destructive vagueries, flavors and limitations of chemical processes need no longer impose themselves onto one's photographs. The intelligence and flexibility of digital processes have begun to make it possible to reveal both the truth of a scene and one's artistic intent far better than ever before. I remain dedicated to the task of realizing in every way the quality and scope of work which the new methods have made possible."

~ Joseph Holmes

"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy."

~ Susan Polis Schutz

"A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books."

~ Walt Whitman

"Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another."

~ Juvenal, Satires

"A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path."

"The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man."
