In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.

I think the digital camera would record that information too fast for me.

If you're not going to tell something if you're not going to expose something it's real easy to go in and photograph from behind the camera and not expose any of your weaknesses.

We all take from our artistic endeavors what we as individuals need, to make the process unique and fulfilling to ourselves.

To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.

My son does a little photography, but he's not involved the way I was.

I tried painting for a short time and realized that I was not a child prodigy at painting.

No matter how fast I could do it with the digital camera I don't think I would get the same thing out of it. The passion I have for formulating an idea stands alone. It is the important essence of what I do.

If no one wants to jump into a Kim Weston and drive it down the street. That's fine with me I don't care. I know my work is good and I know it's serious work.

Growing up, I didn't give my grandfather's photography a second thought. I wasn't involved in his work, except that I helped my dad print his negatives.

Well, now I'm an old photographer and I still don't sell.

I didn't want to travel. I didn't want to leave my family. I heard all these stories from Dad about not having Edward around when he was young, and I didn't want that to happen.

Uncle Brett had a definite vision that he was after, I don't think having a famous father affected him much.

I think all photographers fit their vision to their personality.

A lot of my work comes from my life experiences.

I was always confident in my art and in myself as an artist.

In front of the camera I look and I see visually what I've created.

What I had to prove was that I had a dedication and a desire and a passion to do the work and everything else would fall in place because I have a vision that I want to portray and it did and I do it. I don't sell anything.

Being a shy person, I always felt strange outside with my camera.

I'm not photographing the model in the classic sense; the model is playing a part in my photographs. It's more like theater. I always work with models I know, and I let them participate in deciding how to act their part.

I felt no pressure that my grandfather was famous and my uncle was famous.

As an artist you have to have a certain amount of arrogance.

My surprises come usually once I start rolling and photographing.

Any nude is a something you setup in front of the camera.

I photographed rocks and trees and tide pools and nudes and all that stuff for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the studio and never have to travel.

Galleries, and they're all the same, and rightly so, they sell work.

You work on an idea, your first interpretation is very raw and you work it and you work it and it gets polished and polished. It gets to a certain level and then it comes down off that peak.

I just love photographing. I don't do it for anyone else.

I don't know, the older I get, the more complicated I think I get, which is a hindrance.

The darkroom is just the means to an end.

That's not to say that some day I won't go outside again, but I'm having a great time working on this process.

I don't need the money I generate from photography to support myself.

The gallery is generating work for the masses.

I don't think at that time I realized how important it was and how important it was for me to be here and carry on that legacy in our family of being a photographer.

It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're fulfilling that inner need, and for me the need is more the process than the finished product. My photographs are stories of the process.

The great thing about this thing we call art is that it has no rules.

I think the quality of something like the Beveridge, for instance, will have a life of its own.

You can recognize women who are grateful to be a daughter of God by their outward appearance. These women understand their stewardship over their bodies and treat them with dignity.

I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.

I buy soy sauce and flavor it five different ways: with sake, mirin, sugar, kombu and bonito flakes. I use them on lots of dishes at home.

Envy is ever joined with the comparing of a mans self and where there is no comparison no envy.

Procrastination is your body telling you you need to back off a bit and think more about what you are doing.

When you say 'fear of the unknown', that is the definition of fear; fear is the unknown, fear is what you do not know, and it's genetically within us so that we feel safe. We feel scared of the woods because we're not familiar with it, and that keeps you safe.

Men will confess to treason, murder, arson, false teeth, or a wig. How many of them will own up to a lack of humor?

This nation loves singing and loves acting.

In a romance novel, the core story is the developing relationship between a man and a woman. The other events in the story line, though important, are secondary to that relationship.

One may never get to know how fast the time travels till the one gets in that position to race against the time.

I know there's a lot of discussion about building a 2000-mile wall. I think we need to complete the Secure Fencing Act, but we need greater technology and aviation aspects down on the Southwest border so we can see the threat from the sky. Until you can see it, you don't know where it's coming from and how to correctly stop it.

My wife always tells people, 'He's not going to be able run to for anything because I'm not going to let him start a campaign.'
