“It’s all about the picture” is a refrain from [Siskind and Callahan] that continually returns to him while he works. A mantra, perhaps, that guides him in a meditative Pas de deux with the landscape; hours can pass while he works, moving carefully and watchfully from one spot to another, watching the sun slide shadowed clouds to and fro, finding ideal moments when perspective, scope, and depth combine into pleasing forms in his viewfinder.
