But if people feel it's worthwhile, not only do they copy but they want to learn how to do it To me, that's what it's all about.

It was only after a while, after photographing mines and clear-cutting of forests in Maine, that I realized I was looking at the components of photography itself. Photography uses paper made from trees, water, metals, and chemistry. In a way, I was looking at all these things that feed into photography.
