What I loathe is the multi-national conglomerates who must take responsibility for the degradation and pollution of so much of our landscape with their factory farming and greed.

After Land I wanted to continue exploring the theme but I needed a new challenge so turned to colour. I explored Bradford and produced a series of urban landscapes that I liked, but because Land had made such an impact on the general public my colour work wasn't reviewed.

And in fact I don'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. That's why I love it so much.

Look at lots of exhibitions and books, and don't get hung up on cameras and technical things. Photography is about images.

I like photographs which leave something to the imagination.

It was 1966 by the time I started taking pictures seriously and books, newspapers and magazines of the time were full of great pictures that helped to inspire me.

You can't expect to take a definitive image in half an hour. It takes days, often years.

I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.

I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process.

Born Berlin 1931, Germany, father a British diplomat, mother an American artist. Educated at various schools all over the world. 1958 Settled down to live in London. 1966 Became interested in photography through photographing my young children. No formal training.

The viewer must bring their own view to a photograph.

But I was, and still am, an avid reader and so when I first started I chose to photograph many of the great writers in this country to try and earn a living.

I have always been a very keen walker, though, and I often took a camera with me on my walks.

I've been working with the land for most of my life; walking it and photographing it. And I love it to bits.

Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know.

I'm not faithful to one particular medium, and it's what I try to teach to people who work with me.

I have always loved reading, so was interested in the literary world, and took many literary portraits.

I had been working in colour for ten years or so and looked at digital and liked the possibilities it gave me.

Greed has driven the world crazy. And I think I'm lucky that I have a place over here that I can call home.

We have seen that in this country in the last few years, particularly on Wall Street, with the rise of the old human frailty of greed. This occurs when people begin to serve only their own needs to the detriment of everyone else.

Greed has taken the whole universe, and nobody is worried about their soul.

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

The everyday kindness of the back roads more than makes up for the acts of greed in the headlines.

But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.

There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.

What I would like to be remembered for is that Walter Washington changed the spirit of the people of this city, that he came in as mayor when there was hate and greed and misunderstanding among our people and the races were polarized.

Greed, like the love of comfort, is a kind of fear.

From the first day to this, sheer greed was the driving spirit of civilization.

John will never send a boy or girl in a uniform anywhere in the world because of our need and greed for oil.

I certainly understand that we're all trying to make a living, but I'm not thinking about that when I'm making it. And if that's your sole motivation, it's going to reflect that narcissistic greed, and you're going to hear it in the music.

For greed all nature is too little.

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.

I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.

The music industry's actions at the time of 9/11 and since have been actions driven by patriotism in most instances, and greed and stupidity to a lesser degree. Sounds like real life doesn't it?

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

Nothing makes us more vulnerable than loneliness, except greed.

But love, like the sun that it is, sets afire and melts everything. what greed and privilege to build up over whole centuries the indignation of a pious spirit, with its natural following of oppressed souls, will cast down with a single shove.

As time goes on we get closer to that American Dream of there being a pie cut up and shared. Usually greed and selfishness prevent that and there is always one bad apple in every barrel.

I didn't do it because of the underlying greed that's prevailing, but it is about greed, doing the right thing at the right time using your clout when you have it and what for and what reason.

The organization and constant onward sweep of this movement exemplifies the resentment of the many toward the selfishness, greed and the neglect of the few.

The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm, capitalism is that kind of a system.

The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions, and evils, is rooted in the three poisons. Greed, anger, and delusion.

New York City is a great monument to the power of money and greed... a race for rent.

The curse of the romantic is a greed for dreams, an intensity of expectation that, in the end, diminishes the reality.

Most of the time common stocks are subject to irrational and excessive price fluctuations in both directions as the consequence of the ingrained tendency of most people to speculate or gamble... to give way to hope, fear and greed.

Time! Joyless emblem of the greed of millions, robber of the best which earth can give.
