Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I photograph everything that surprises me. If nothing surprises me, I photograph nothing. It\u2019s still a surprise when I go back to my negatives.<\/em>” — Graciela Iturbide<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I took the pictures in this book so that nostalgia could never color my past. I wanted to make a record of my life that nobody could revise: not a safe, clean version, but instead, an account of what things really looked like and felt like and smelled like. I don\u2019t think I could, at this age and in this body now, live the life that I lived then. It took a certain level of fearlessness, a wildness, quick changes\u2014of clothes, of friends, of lovers, of cities. <\/p>\n

The book gave a mirror to kids who had no reflection of themselves in the world around them. They knew that they weren\u2019t alone. <\/p>\n

Photography has been redemptive for me, it\u2019s helped me chart my descents and my reconstruction. <\/em>” — Nan Goldin<\/strong> on her book “The Ballad of Sexual Dependency”<\/p>\n

This is probably my favorite image of the whole trip. I was standing hip deep in snow as I took it. Shade from the hillside and the trees maintained the snow until late May. I feel like I got the shutter speed exactly right to blur the moving water, but not turn it into milk.

Stehekin is a small community and each spring they held a pot-luck community picnic, and I was invited. It was a beautiful day and everyone was having a good time. . .
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When tragedy struck. A float plane, bringing five people back to Stehekin for the picnic, over-turned in Lake Chelan. The Stehekin school superintendent and a doctor did not survive.

Two of the five people on board died. <\/a> Apparently the wheels were down<\/a> which should not happen for a water landing. I felt so bad for the community that what began as such a positive, happy day ended with sadness and loss.<\/p>\n
