The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
|
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
|
Enjoyment of the landscape is a thrill.
|
Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.
|
I think a photograph, of whatever it might be - a landscape, a person - requires personal involvement.
That means knowing your subject, not just snapping at what's in front of you.
|
Memory is the fourth dimension to any landscape.
|
Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush
and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats, while their more enduring monuments,
excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries.
|
The landscape painter must walk in the fields with a humble mind. No arrogant man was ever permitted to see Nature in all her beauty.
|
I have long been interested in landscape history, and when younger and more robust I used to do much tramping of the English landscape
in search of ancient field systems, drove roads, indications of prehistoric settlement.
|
What I am interested in now is the landscape. Pictures without people. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually there are no people in my pictures.
It is so emotional.
|
I find that other countries have this or this, but Italy is the only one that has it all for me.
The culture, the cuisine, the people, the landscape, the history. Just everything to me comes together there.
