The sources of my musical intuitions are ephemeral and in constant motion and it is an aggressive and intensive effort to wrestle this intuition into form. When I compose music the impulses and ideas come from internal sources. When I am out in the weather, walking, looking, kneeling in a swamp, I remind myself that there are things to photograph everywhere and that after a while I will start to see my subjects. Photography quiets me and facilitates an access to an interaction with nature.
